Fig. 400, 1843~44,—“ Brought-home-the-magic-arrow 
winter.” This arrow originally belonged to the Chey-

captured it this winter from the Pawnees and the 
Cheyennes then redeemed it for one hundred horses.

thirty-eight-Oglalas winter.” The Oglalas were on the 
warpath, as indicated by the capote. 
Fig. 402, 1845~46.—“ Broke-out- on- faces -had-sore- 
throats-and-camped-under-the-bluff winter.” “ Also-

also the suggestive attitude of the man.
