head of the Indian on which is the ornamented 
war bonnet represents the man who was the 
first to enter the Cheyenne village, which is

suggested from the uniform, but it is not accurate. Gen. Crook’s rank

did not entitle him to more than two stars on his shoulder straps. Itis 
possible that one of the stars in this figure belongs to Gen. Mackenzie
