Place:

Date:
circa 1880
Scope and Contents:
The collection consists of two (2) ledger books of Cheyenne and Arapaho drawings, as well as related correspondence and notes.

Vol. 1: 46 drawings of war scenes on leaves of ruled and numbered paper from a ledger book. The book was disbound and laminated; the covers have been retained. The inside of the cover is inscribed "D.N. McDonald, US Army."

Vol. 2: 54 drawings on leaves of ruled and numbered paper from a ledger book. The book was disbound and laminated; the covers were not retained. Scenes are primarily of warfare, but also include horse raids, courting, and two maps. Several pages are inscribed "Washee," a name recorded among both Cheyennes and Arapahoes in the 1880s. Misreading of this as "Nashee" led to erroneous speculation that the drawings were associated with the Apache leader Naiche.

Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation. As an historical document, its contents may be at odds with contemporary views and terminology and considered offensive today. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the Smithsonian Institution or National Anthropological Archives, but is available in its original form to facilitate research.
