a. Gen. Sully’s camp, on the left bank of Hard river, from which camp the company 
of Winnebagos were sent across the river. 
b. The Winnebagos skirmishing with a party of hostile Sioux. Two Winnebagos, 
having gone ahead of the main party, came first upon about thirty Sioux, who imme- 
diately gave chase. The two Winnebagos are represented endeavoring to escape 
arrows from pursuing Sioux flying about them, and the blood from the horse of one 
of them flowing over the ground. The rest of the Winnebagos are coming to rescue 
their companions. 
c. Gen. Sully’s entire force, after crossing Hard river, were assailed by a number of 
Sioux. Gen. Sully’s forces formed in hollow square to repulse the Sioux, who with 
loud yells went galloping about them, trying to stampede horses or throw his men 
into confusion. 
d. The camp of the Sioux, the women and children escaping over the hills. One 
squaw was left in the camp and with her papoose is seen. One of the Sioux pre- 
viously wounded was found dead and was sealped, a representation of which opera- 
tion the artist has given.
