They are moved from valley to valley as the Union takes more and more of their land in a plan to eradicate the country of 'Savages' - exterminating all Native Americans.

Some are drawn by dogs; some by cats; some by diminutive donkeys. All the children are dressed in carnival costume in imitation of those worn by their elders."

The naked children are rolling about on the grass with the dogs, the women are smoking pipes and cooking the evening meal over an out-door fire. The mother is telling fortunes for a stranger, and the whole scene is one of animation. Photographically the view is almost perfect."

Life-buoys are thrown in to the water, and several seamen dive from the deck of the vessel. A life boat is quickly lowered from the davits, and the man is rescued. In the background of the picture appear two of the most formidable battleships of the British navy. The negative is very fine photographically."
