Description:
Scheuerle wrote, "Eagle Head - Arapaho - Corral Camp - Fort Washaki - Wind River Res. Wyo. 1917 - The oldest man left - an old fighter; body covered with scars - some from sun dance practice of self torture - asking his age he raised both hands, up and down - many times - could not count how often."
