content: Consists of a "U.S. Geological Survey 9-895" sketch book containing fifty-one (51) drawings by Silver Horn.  The sketch book is inscribed by Mooney  "No. 23. Kiowa colls. 1904. Nov. 14 James Mooney." One of the pages is inscribed "Hawgone" and several others are inscribed "Hangun," alternate versions of the Kiowa word for Silver Horn.  

The pictorial record covers the years 1828-1904. It was produced by Silver Horn in 1904 when he was regularly employed as an artist by Mooney. Alternating entries for summers (indicated by the forked center pole of the Medicine Lodge) and winters (indicated by a bare tree). Summers when no Medicine Lodge ceremony was held are marked by a tree in leaf. The drawings are heavily annotated by Mooney.
