Description: 
Described in Vol. II, pp. 213-214. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "'Smoking Horses,' a curious custom of the Sacs and Foxes. Foxes, going to war, come to the Sacs, to beg for horses; they sit in a circle and smoke, and the young men ride around them, and cut their shoulders with their whips until the blood runs, then dismount and present a horse." Originally sketched in 1835 and painted in the period 1835-1837 (Truettner, 1979, pp. 276-277).
