The Fording Place
by John Buxton
It is summer in Iroquois territory and the tribe has set up their
temporary camp on the banks of a river, where the fish and game
are plentiful. At the end of the season the men and women will pack
up their huts and move to higher ground, where the winter floods
will not reach them.
Content that their work in the camp is done, a group of men set
out across the river to hunt and continue the day's chores. Buxton's
realistic depictions of everyday life in the 18th century make thoughtful
gifts to a history buff or historical art collector.

Sand Creek Memories
by Don Crowley
The Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 remains one of the most horrific
events in the history of the United States. Under the pretext of
defending the growing city of Denver, Colorado, United States troops,
under the command of Colonel John Chivington, attacked a camp of
peaceful Cheyenne. The majority of Cheyenne warriors had left on
a hunt, but the American soldiers slaughtered every Native American
they could find, including women, the elderly and children. Chivington
reported that between five and six hundred warriors were killed;
in truth, about 53 men and over a hundred women and children were
murdered. The battle has remained an ugly scar on the face of the
southwest United States.
The Cheyenne subject of Don Crowley's Sand
Creek Memories pays tribute to the memory of his fallen tribesmen.
This moving portrait is a memorial to the departed and a plea for
peace, that we may not make the same mistake in allowing such atrocities
again.
