Right (page 25): Blank
Left: COURTING. The three figures are centered on the page. A man in a red blanket with white selvedge, center, with a woman in a blue blanket to the left and a woman in a blanket of red, blue, and white, probably 2nd phase Navajo chief's blanket, stands at the right. None wears face paint.
The woman on right wears a necklace with three strands (penciled), and she has blue leggings and blue-colored feet, one of the few instances of coloring on any figure�s feet in this and related 1879 Dodge City ledgers.
The man wears a red robe with a vertical white stripe down the back where two lengths of trade cloth are sewn together (�skunk� courting blanket, Cowdrey 1999: 75), red clout with undyed selvedge ends, and pencil-outlined leggings with a vertical stripe created by the undyed selvedge like the man in the previous plate before, with white stripe. Benson Lanford describes how these leggings are made (2003: 201).
The blue-blanketed woman has a necklace of three strands, blue robe, ornamented leggings (a vertical row of perhaps �small silver German silver conchos used on women�s leggings alone� according to Peter Powell in personal correspondence to Ramon Powers, 2010.
Media: Figures are outlined in pencil, with blue crayon and red water color fill.
