This is "A splendid collection OF draw.

study Of army and Indian life on tho

life which accompanied tho struggle
for white supremacy IN all that vast
region. In most of the drawings, gai-
Looping horses are prominent feature.
The first picture which gives the prin-
cipal name to the book, gave the artist
a great fame, almost over night, by It's
exhibition in the Nationel Academy OF

Clarke prize and establishing the paint
