content: T.M. Galey to M.W. Stirling. May 19, 1931. Independence, Kansas. "Refer to the negative among the bunch I sent you, showing a Cheyenne dog travois with Indian woman. I had two dog and pony travois made for me by Black Horse and his squaw. They are all thong tied and are precisely as used in the old time except that cow hide is used for the "floor" of the basket rather than buffalo hide. ... The basket is of willows."

content: T.M. Galey to M.W. Stirling. No date [received October 6, 1932.] Owensboro, Kentucky. "I had four travois made about 10 years ago by real old time Cheyennes who were in the wars. They got good and aged under a shed in Lame Deer, Mont. I am glad to say a pair of each, pony and dog travois, are in the Museum of Transportation in Chicago and in the Museum of the American Indian, NY, my donation. I had paid the trader 40 dollars to be credited to Black Horse and his squaw and they were annoyed because I insisted the ties be made with thongs when bail wire was handy. Dr Grinnellwas with me, or rather I was with him, on that fine visit to Lame Deer."
