Fort Reno Ledger Drawing
Scope and Content Notes
This drawing summarizes a variety of actions in a few symbols. The warrior in an eagle feather bonnet and trailer is shown from the back as he uses a tomahawk to count coup on an opponent. Three shots have been fired from behind a bluff. The Cheyenne's horse with his tail tied and decorated for battle and an eagle feather and bandana hanging from its chin, stands by as he has been trained to do.
