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 Shortly after his death, this portion of his unpublished manuscript on Crow culture was adapted as part of a study of museum collections and archival materials pertaining to the Crow. Although touching on some other aspects of decorative art (quillwork and painting), the source concerns itself mainly with beadwork on clothing, riding gear, containers, etc.
