EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pawnee chased by Cheyenne and a white man killed by Crooked Lance" takes us back to the intense conflicts of the 19th century in North America. The illustration, created with pencil and crayon on paper, is part of the renowned Black Horse Ledger collection housed at the Newberry Library in Chicago. The image depicts a dramatic scene of Native American tribes engaged in warfare. The Pawnee tribe finds themselves being pursued by their enemies, the Cheyenne, while a white man falls victim to an attack from Crooked Lance. This artwork provides a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by indigenous peoples during this tumultuous period. The ledger book itself serves as an invaluable historical artifact containing drawings by warrior artists such as Black Horse. These illustrations document not only acts of war but also hunting and courtship rituals within Native American culture. As we study this piece, we are reminded of the deep connection between humans and animals during that time. Horses play a significant role in both tribal life and warfare, symbolizing strength and mobility. Through this powerful composition, we gain insight into the complex dynamics between different tribes and cultures that shaped early America. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and invites contemplation on themes such as conflict, survival, and cultural exchange.
