This volume offers a detailed description by anthropologist and ethnographer James Mooney of Southern Cheyenne women tanning cow hides for a historic reproduction of a 19th-century tipi, between April 28 and June 2, 1903, at the Darlington Indian Agency, Oklahoma Territory. What sets this historical record apart from others is that the tipi still exists, perfectly preserved in the underground artifact catacombs of the Chicago Field Museum 115 years later.
