VERSO
Artist’s description of the painting, “Two Sioux Indians have been riding double, one having lost his pony in a recent battle. They come upon a stray cavalry mount, and strip off the heavy McLelland saddle. The dismounted brave is securing the prized cavalry blanket with an improvised surcingle, and in another moment the big bay horse will start his education in the Sioux tongue and there will be no more bugles.”
