content: From card: "The edges have bands of beadwork and there are also beadwork decorations in open design at the bottom. The material is dressed skin. These are known as front seam leggings. Refer: N. Feder, Amer. Indian Tradition (mag), Vol. 8, no. 3 1962, "Front Seam Leggings", fig. 4. Probably not Cheyenne. May be Sauk & Fox. See photos of the 1860's. - N. Feder 1961. 6/1962 Mr. Loren Herrington of Royal Oak, Mich. who is an experienced Indian student and collector, furnished the definite information that these leggings were made by a known Sac and Fox woman, on order of Mr. M. J. Chandler [sic, see below] of Detroit, Mich. who has one of the outstanding private collections of Indian materials, collected and identified from actual tribes if not persons. He has had things made by Indians over the years, and sold some of them, so Evans must have purchased it from him, because the design is well know to be the specific woman's work. - R. Elder".
