THE CORBUSIER WINTER COUNTS.
1835-’36.—No. I. They killed a very fat buffalo bull.
No. II. They killed a very fat buffalo bull.
White-Cow-Killer calls it “Two warriors-killed winter.”
1836-’37.—No. I. The Dakotas and the Pawnees fought on the ice on the North Platte River. The former were on the north side, the right-hand side in the figure, the latter on the south side, the left in the figure. Horsemen and footmen on the right are opposed to footmen on the left. Both sides have guns and bows, as shown by the bullet-marks and the arrows. The red marks are for blood-stains on the ice.
No. II. They fought the Pawnees across the ice on the North Platte. The man on the left is a Pawnee.
White-Cow-Killer calls it “Fight-on-ice winter.”
