Salvete Omnes,
a quick canter to the grassy pages of the Maffet Ledger - 1880s ledger being a collection of drawings done by various Southern and Northern Cheyenne warriors from Oklahoma - it is held at Metropolitan Museum of Arts in NYC
Feats of prowess, including counting coups and capturing horses - all about the martial culture of the Cheyenne warriors of those epic times as seen through their own eyes.
and I would like to point you to this fine book - Counting Coup and Cutting Horses: Intertribal Warfare on the Northern Plains, 1738-1889 by Anthnony McGinnis.. - fantastic study of the Plains Indians inter-tribal warfare.
It can be borrowed [sic!] from Archive World Library or be purchased too - eg Amazon.
Valete
