For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price. -

Drawing on Paper , Probably Yankton Sioux, Ca
DRAWING ON PAPER , PROBABLY YANKTON SIOUX, CA. 1881 Description: Drawing in pencil and colored pencil on paper of incidents transpiring in January 1881 involving Teton Sioux, Yankton Sioux, soldiers of the United States Army and civilians employed by the U.S. government Height 39.75 inches 101 cm Width 35.75 inches 90.7 cm Provenance: Lessard Collection – SD 982 Epic Fine Arts Co./Masco Corp. This drawing on paper, likely made around 1881 by an anonymous Plains Indian warrior-artist, presents us with clearly delineated graphic renderings of events that transpired along the Missouri River in northeastern Montana on January 2 and 3, 1881. The participants depicted include United States Army personnel, civilians employed by the U.S. government, the Indian inhabitants of one tipi village under attack, and another camp circle whose warriors seek to avoid a similar fate. The artistic style in this drawing is consistent with the biographical art tradition adhered to by warrior-artists during the Plains Indian Wars of the 1860s and 1870s and the early reservation period. This style differs significantly from the conventions of contemporaneous mainstream Western representational art. Some of its notable characteristics displayed here include: a flattening of perspective and no attempt to create the illusion of three-dimensionality; use of a bird’s eye view for taking in objects spread out across the field of action, e.g. the tipi villages; an absence of portraiture in the sense of attempting to fashion a realistic depiction of an individual; no attempt to convey a sense of photographic realism; and partial figures used in a kind of shorthand to 2 represent entire entities, e.g. -

Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations 1768-1921
Publication Number: M-2014 Publication Title: Burial Registers for Military Posts, Camps, and Stations, 1768-1921 Date Published: 1996 BURIAL REGISTERS FOR MILITARY POSTS, CAMPS, AND STATIONS 1768-1921 Introduction On the single roll of this microfilm publication, M2014, is reproduced a two-volume register of burials at military posts, camps, and stations from 1768 to 1921; however, the bulk of the burials occurred between 1860 and 1890. These registers are part of the Records of the Office of the Quartermaster General, Record Group (RG) 92. This publication was financed by The Malcolm H. Stern-NARA Gift Fund and the National Archives Trust Fund. Background The registers included on this microfilm were created by the Cemetery Branch, established shortly after the Civil War in the Office of the Quartermaster General, Washington, DC. Entries in the two volumes were based on each post's burial records or grave markers. The first volume was created in 1873, updated periodically until 1883, and updated sporadically until 1932. The second was created in 1883 and updated periodically until 1932. Some burials (generally those that occurred before 1883 in cemeteries that were still active in 1883) are listed in both volumes. In the book, Quartermaster Support of the Army: A History of the Corps, 1775-1939 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1962, reprinted 1989), Erna Risch provided the following history of the quartermaster's role in burying deceased military personnel at military posts: Ever since 1775, the [War] Department had assumed certain duties in caring for the dead. In line with its responsibility for construction, repair, and maintenance at Army posts, quartermasters had long administered post burial grounds. -

Chinese Games with Dice and Dominos
CHINESE GAMES WITH DICE AND DOMINOES. STEWART CUI.IX, Director of the Museum of Archceoloffij aud Pala'ontoloqy, University of Fe7insylvaiiia. 489 CHINESE GAMES WITH DICE AND DOMINOES. By Stewart Culin. " The earth hath V)ubhles, as the water has, and these are of them." This paper,* of which a preliminary study was printed in 1889,t is the first of a series on Chinese games, to be continued by similar accounts of playing cards and chess. It has been considerably extended, through recent studies in connection especially with the collection gathered by the author in the Anthropological Building in Chicago, and that in the National Museum. | The games described are chiefly those of the Chinese laborers in America, a limitation found as acceptable as it is necessary, since even among these people, who all came from a comparatively small area, there exist variations in the methods of gambling, as well as in the termi- nology of their games. The latter is made up largely of slang and col- loquial words and presents many difficulties. The gamblers are usually men of the most ignorant class, and those most familiar with the games are often the least able to furnish correct Chinese transcriptions of the terms employed in them, so that the task of interpretation would have been extremely difficult but for the assistance received from Chinese and Japanese scholars.§ ' This paper lias been prt-pared at the request of the authorities of the U. S. National Museum, to illustrate a portion of its extensive collection of games. t Chinese -with Dice. -

This work is intended not only as a survey of the games of Korea, but as a practical introduction to the study of the games of the world. It is based upon a collection of games made by the writer, and exhibited by him at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and now contained in the Museum of Archaeology of the University of Pennsylvania; and upon information obtained from natives of Eastern Asia residing in the United States, the author never having visited the East. -
