Page 4: Black Tail Deer Dreamer (see alternative view for rotated version)
This Deer Dreamer is copied in form from a Walter Bone Shirt Drawing at the University of Montana Mansfield Library. The image of the original drawing is in the Walter Bone Shirt Ledger - Mansfield Library, plate 7.
According to Mike Cowdrey,* this set of Walter Bone Shirt drawings were acquired by Lt. John S. Parke at the Rosebud Reservation in 1890-1891, so the complier of this autograph album must have seen them before that date.
