Abstract
The principal author, a businessman, collected extensively among the Crow between 1918 and 1927. Shortly after his death, this portion of his unpublished manuscript on Crow culture was compiled and edited by a researcher who added the bracketed material and footnotes. The monograph describes and illustrates a number of Crow medicine bundles. These bundles were used in the Sun Dance, warfare, love magic, curing, witchcraft, etc.
