Page
23 (top left). Walking along a much traveled trail, a man coming
from the right has caught a shaggy pony. With his back to the viewer,
his gun thrust for safekeeping in his belt [???], he is busily improvising
a hackamore from his war bridle. In the foreground, a companion, mounted
on a bay, sits warily, gun in hand, watching the trail behind them.

Page
24 (top right). The first of three riders seen on this and the
following pages, this man reappears on the last page. He is easily recognized
by his hair en brosse with side braids and back hair free, see
with red hawk evil feathers, his see of necklaces, blue shirt with red
fox skin pendant from the shoulder, and his dark cloth leggings with red
cuff panels. His face seems to have been painted a faint yellow.
Page 25 (not reproduced). Dwarfing his mount, the second rider wears dark flannel leggings, also with red cuff panels, together with a fine blue Capote with red edging and shoulder seam.
Overall he wears a fur bandolier sash; what may be the head of one animal in that sash appears on his breast.
On page 26 (not reproduced) the third rider, astride a ran pony with white stockings, has his back hair tied up. He wears a small earring, what appears to be a choker necklace, a green shirt, white leggings, and decorated moccasins. Below his cartridge belt he wears something wrapped about his waist.
