Old Indian Days | ||
The old woman screamed and wept as she rowed him across the river
[Description: Full color image of watercolor (?) painting showing a canoe crossing a river with the setting sun reflected on its surface. The canoe crosses from the right edge of the frame, midway up, towards the left edge of the frame, pointing slightly towards the viewer. An "Indian brave" stands near the bow, his left hand on his left breast, his right arm extended forwards in the air. An old woman sits at the stern, paddling over the right side. Yellow predominates the background in both the sky and the reflective water. A thin stand of trees stretches upwards in the top right corner. ]

followed by the sign of an anchor, followed by "Illustrations in color

stamping that reads, "Bureau of American Ethnology Library."
