Right: Blue grouse still range in western Kansas, and in several states they are still hunted. Blue grouse were once common on the plains. An early settler and hunger, Richard Irving Dodge, describes grouse among the birds he hunted during an 1872 expedition in his book The Great Plains of the Great West (New York: Archer House, 1959, page 118). Similar blue birds are in the Northern Cheyenne-Kansas State Historical Society ledger notebook (page 4), drawn in Dodge City at the same time by Hagetta and other imprisoned survivors of the Fort Robinson Breakout of 1879. Media: Blue crayon Left: A Cheyenne horseman shoots an arrow into a bison’s ribs. The horse is behind the buffalo, from the viewer’s perspective. The man wears a simple black shirt, and only his torso is shown. Legs are not visible. The man has long black, cloth-wrapped braid, with a tie dangling from its end. His empty left hand has outstretched fingers. He holds the reins and bow in his right hand. The horse is drawn in a similar manner to others in this ledger, with a small head. It is pencil outline with blank-ink fill for fur; eyes and hooves are left uncolored. The tail is detailed in pencil. The arrow protrudes from the large female. The bulky, round-bellied animal is drawn with uncolored eyes, which gives a wide-eyed appearance. Horns, split hooves and arc-ed tail are depicted. Media: lead pencil and black ink only.
