14 - RACING BETWEEN INDIAN BOYS ON BAREBACK HORSES.

15 - BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIG HORN. Historical picture of Custer's Last Charge. Meeting and consolidation of hostile Sioux on the Little Big Horn under Sitting Bull to give battle to the United States Army then congregating under Generals Terry, Crook, Miles, Custer, Carr, Merritt, Gibbon, Forsythe, Henry, Mills, Whistler, Otis, Reno, Benteen and others. Assembling in larger numbers than before known in Indian history, they with strategic cunning ambushed the gallant Custer and his command of 328 of the Seventh Cavalry on the 25th day of June, 1876, and remorselessly annihilated the entire command. This animated tableau represents the meeting, customs of camping, dances, etc., by the Sioux Indians, several of those present having been in the massacre; and the military are represented by members of the Seventh United States Cavalry, several of whom participated in the battle of Wounded Knee, 1890, between this famous regiment and the same Sioux. The horse ridden by the personator of General Custer was the favorite war horse of the late Chief, Sitting Bull.

16 - SOUTH AMERICAN GAUCHOS (First appearance in the United States). Riding, throwing the bolas, etc. These primitive horsemen are of Indian and Spanish descent from the interior plateaus and pampas of the Argentine.
