Description There are two drawings in the 1879 book depicting warrior society dances. With painted faces and wearing roaches with eagle feathers, hair pipe chokers, and garters, the two dancers seem to be celebrating a victory. The man on the right carries a firearm and wears a calico shirt, vest, leggings, a breechcloth, and German silver armbands. Warrior society regalia are shown on the left.

Description 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.
