Whether painted by artist-warriors depicting their feats in battle
or by other Native American artists, 19th and 20th century ledger
drawings--drawn on blank sheets of ledger books obtained from U.S.
soldiers, traders, missionaries, and reservation employees--provide
an excellent visual source of information on the Great Plains
Native Americans. An art form representing a transition from
drawing on buffalo hide to a paper medium, ledger drawings range in
style, content, and quality from primitive and artistically poor to
bold and sharp with lavish use of color. Although interest in
ledger drawings has increased in the last 20 years, there has never
been a guide to holdings of these drawings. By bringing together
the diverse and scattered institutions that hold them, this book
will make finding the drawings quicker and easier. Illustrated with
examples of ledger drawings, the guide identifies the libraries,
archives, historical societies, and museums that hold ledger
drawings. The institutions listed range from those with large
collections, such as the Smithsonian, Yale, and Oklahoma museums,
to institutions with only a few drawings. The book also includes a
bibliography of books and articles about Indian pictographic art.
The index will enable researchers to locate art by individual
artists and tribes.
