Cheyenne Dog Soldiers: A Ledgerbook History of Coups and Combat
Jean Afton, David Fridtjof Halaas, and Andrew E. Masich

©2004CHS

Winner of the 1997 Choice Magazine award for outstanding scholarship, Cheyenne Dog Soldiers goes beyond traditional analysis of Plains Indian warrior art to identify actual historical encounters between Indians and whites during the furious battles that followed the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864. The authors describe action, clothing, and cultural or historical elements in exact detail for 107 drawings made by Cheyenne Dog Soldiers in the late 1860s-the earliest known examples of ledgerbook art. $34.95 paper.
