content: Cloud Shield and American Horse produced this version of their winter counts in a book provided by William Corbusier in 1879, either on the Pine Ridge Reservation or nearby Camp Sheridan, Nebraska. Corbusier sent the book and associated interpretations to Col. Garrick Mallery of the Bureau of American Ethnology. American Horse (1840-1908) was an Oglala chief.
