1 map: 15 x 22 cm. <br>Scale: 1 inch = 7 miles. <br>A handwritten note by the author is in red pencil on the left. <br>W.C. Brown was a second Lieutenant in the U.S. Cavalry during the Indian Wars of the late 1870s. These maps come from a book by him, published in 1926 after his retirement, about the Sheepeater Campaign. The Sheepeaters was the name given to a band of high mountain Indians who subsisted mostly on sheep, and the Campaign involved the army going up into these fairly inaccessible mountains to capture the Indians.

Brown, W. C. (William Carey), 1854-1939.
