During the winter of 1851-52, while Kurz was at Fort Union, a German artist of some ability was with the Oto and Omaha near the banks of the Missouri. H. Baldwin Möllhausen, late in the autumn of 1851, became lost on the frozen, snow-covered prairies south of the Platte, and was rescued by a family of Oto encamped on the bank of a small stream. He remained with the Oto and later returned with them to their village near the mouth of the Platte. From the Oto village he went up the Missouri to the Omaha, with whom he stayed some weeks. While with the two tribes he made many sketches of the Indians and scenes depicting the ways of life of the people. When he returned to his home in Berlin he carried with him the collection of drawings, and these, if found at the present time, would probably prove of much interest. PLATE 24 Both _a_ and _b_ are reproductions of photographs made in the vicinity of Fort Laramie in 1868, during the visit of the Indian Peace Commission. The commission was composed of a number of Army officers who went among many of the Plains tribes for the purpose of gaining their friendship for the Government. From original prints in the possession of Mrs. N. H. Beauregard, St. Louis. The name of the photographer is not known. _c._ From the engraving of the original picture by Bodmer, as used by Maximilian. (See note, pl. 15.) PLATE 25 _a._ Reproduced from a photograph of the original painting by Kane, now in the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology, Toronto. Rocky Mountain Fort in the distance on the right. No. 57 in the catalogue. Size of picture, 18 inches high, 29 inches long. (See note, pl. 5, _a_.) _b._ From a photograph of a water-color sketch by Kurz. (See note, pl. 23, _b_.) PLATE 26 _a._ From an original negative now in the Bureau of American Ethnology, made by Jackson in 1871. It was probably made at the Omaha village shown in plate 27. _b._ A page of Kurz's sketchbook. (See note, pl. 23, _b_.) PLATE 27 Omaha village, from an original negative made by Jackson in 1871 and now in the Bureau of American Ethnology. According to La Flesche, "The location of the Omaha village can best be described as in the southwest quarter of Section 30, Township 25, Range 10, in the extreme eastern border of Thurston County, Nebraska. The land was allotted in 1883 to Pe-de-ga-hi, one of the Omaha chiefs. It is about three-quarters of a mile west of the historic site known as Blackbird Hill, on which the great medicine man Blackbird was buried." PLATE 28 Both _a_ and _b_ represent pages in Kurz's sketchbook. (See note, pl. 23, _b_.) PLATE 29 Reproduced from the engraving of Bodmer's painting, as illustrated by Maximilian. (See note, pl. 15.) PLATE 30 _a._ Reproduction of the illustration in De Smet's work, where the picture is signed _Geo. Lehman, del._ _b._ Reproduced from the engraving after a drawing by Samuel Seymour.
