Inside front cover; Sitting Bull with single-trailer headdress on red horse stealing 2 roans.
Ethnographic Notes
Sitting Bull captures two, blue roans, a particularly beautiful and coveted equine coat color. The single-trailer headdress of golden eagle feathers is a personal ornament. The headdresses worn by two officers of the Wiciska Warrior Society were distinguished by the addition of buffalo horns.
