Description
Here is depicted a group of Sioux warriors as they appeared in the days of intertribal warfare, carefully making their way down a hillside in the vicinity of the enemy's camp. Many hold in their hands, instead of weapons, mere ticks adorned with eagle-feathers or scalps- the so-called coup-sticks- desiring to win honor by striking a harmless blow therewith as well as to inflict injury with arrow or bullet.
