American Horse

Army officer, Corbusier, provided a sketchbook for American Horse to draw a copy of his winter count, using the original. American Horse drew several pictographs per page and then were numbered later. The book version spans from 1777 to 1878. American Horse provided the interpretation and was a well-known Oglala chief. Several winter counts mark his death.
