Biographical / Historical
James Mooney (1861-1921) was a self-taught ethnologist. He was employed by the Bureau of American Ethnology
from 1885 until his death. In this capacity, he worked extensively among the Cherokee and Kiowa. Among the
Kiowa his studies focused on pictorial calendars, the peyote religion, and heraldry, the term he used to refer to the
designs on shields and painted tipis. In the course of his study of Kiowa and Cheyenne heraldry, he commissioned
illustrations of shield and tipi designs, as well as miniature shields and tipis. For additional biographic information
on James Mooney see: Christopher Winters, General Editor, International Dictionary of Anthropologists, Garland
Publishing, 1991. Neil M. Judd, The Bureau of American Ethnology - A Partial History, University of Oklahoma Press,
1967. L.G. Moses, The Indian Man - A Biography of James Mooney, University of Nebraska Press, 1984.

Scope and Contents
Notes and drawings by Native artists relating to heraldry, as Mooney termed tipi and shield designs. Also some myths
and linguistic data from these and other Plains tribes. The manuscript is a compilation of materials created over
a period of years, assembled under the current number by the BAE archivist. Bound volumes (since disbound for
lamination) were placed under this manuscript number; loose notes and drawings on the same topics were primarily
assembled under manuscript number 2538.

Local Note
Mrs. J. H. Bass (Althea Bass) here May 6, 1959, thinks that the "Paul" referred to occasionally in Vols. III, IV, and V
may be Paul Boynton, an interpreter who spoke both Cheyenne and Arapaho. His family still lives at El Reno. His
father had something to do with the Agency. Paul Boynton is mentioned in one of the letters in Mooney corresponence
for 1902-06 (Smithsonian Institution - Bureau of American Ethnology correspondence files.)

Biographical /
Historical:
Silver Horn, Haungooah in Kiowa (1860-1940). His name also appears as Hugone, Hangun or
Hawgon. He was a member of a prominent Kiowa family. His residential band, led by his father
Agiati (Gathering Feathers), actively opposed the governments efforts to confine the Kiowa to a
reservation. Members of his family participated in the Red River War of 1874-1875 and were among
the last Kiowa to surrender to the military. In 1891, Silver Horn enlisted in Troop L of the 7th U.S.
Cavalry. He served with Troop L, which was part of broader experiment involving the enlistment
of all-Indian troops, until 1894. In 1901, Silver Horn secured employment with James Mooney, an
ethnologist with the Bureau of American Ethnology. Mooney was interested in the designs on Kiowa
shields and tipis and hired Silver Horn to produce illustrations of the designs and models of the
shields and tipis. The project provided Silver Horn with steady work between 1902 and 1904 and
occasional employment between 1904 and 1906. Silver Horn also produced illustrations for Hugh
Scott, an army officer and avocational ethnologist. Silver Horn was active in the religious life of
the Kiowa. He was a Tsaidetalyi bundle keeper and participated in the Sun Dance, Ghost Dance,
and Peyote religion. He was also a member of the Ohoma society. Silver Horn died on December
14, 1940. For additional biographic information on Silver Horn, see Candace Greene, Silver Horn:
Master Illustrator of the Kiowas, University of Oklahoma Press, 2001.
Provenance: The drawings were commissioned by James Mooney of the Bureau of American Ethnology.The
book is undated but probably was created 1904-06. (Added to this file November, 1955. Formerly
Ms. No. 3863).

This pictorial record covers the years 1828-1904. It was produced by Silver Horn in 1904 when he
was regularly employed as an artist by James Mooney. Alternating entries for summers (indicated
by the forked center pole of the Medicine Lodge) and winters (indicated by a bare tree). Summers
when no Medicine Lodge ceremony was held are marked by a tree in leaf. The drawings heavily
annotated by James Mooney in an abbreviated script, often difficult to decipher.The volume consists
of 51 drawings in a bound book of unruled leaves. The cover of the book is printed "SKETCH BOOK
U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 9-895". It is inscribed in James Mooney's hand "No. 23. Kiowa colls.
1904. Nov. 14 James Mooney." One of the pages is inscribed "Hawgone" and several others are
inscribed "Hangun", alternate versions of the Kiowa word for Silver Horn.
Biographical /
Historical:
Silver Horn, Haungooah in Kiowa (1860-1940). His name also appears as Hugone, Hangun or
Hawgon. He was a member of a prominent Kiowa family. His residential band, led by his father
Agiati (Gathering Feathers), actively opposed the governments efforts to confine the Kiowa to a
reservation. Members of his family participated in the Red River War of 1874-1875 and were among
the last Kiowa to surrender to the military. In 1891, Silver Horn enlisted in Troop L of the 7th U.S.
Cavalry. He served with Troop L, which was part of broader experiment involving the enlistment
of all-Indian troops, until 1894. In 1901, Silver Horn secured employment with James Mooney, an
ethnologist with the Bureau of American Ethnology. Mooney was interested in the designs on Kiowa
shields and tipis and hired Silver Horn to produce illustrations of the designs and models of the
shields and tipis. The project provided Silver Horn with steady work between 1902 and 1904 and
occasional employment between 1904 and 1906. Silver Horn also produced illustrations for Hugh
Scott, an army officer and avocational ethnologist. Silver Horn was active in the religious life of
the Kiowa. He was a Tsaidetalyi bundle keeper and participated in the Sun Dance, Ghost Dance,
and Peyote religion. He was also a member of the Ohoma society. Silverhorn died on December
14, 1940. For additional biographic information on Silver Horn, see Candace Greene, Silver Horn:
Master Illustrator of the Kiowas, University of Oklahoma Press, 2001.
Provenance: The drawings were commissioned by James Mooney, of the Bureau of American Ethnology. The
inscription on the cover of the sketchbook 33 suggests that it was collected in 1904. It appears that
the drawings were created at Mooney's request, as they appear in a notebook identical to one in
which he kept his field notes.

Scope and
Contents:
The volume contains descriptions of shields, five drawings depicting shield and associated, face
paint, and horse paint, and a glossary of Kiowa words, including many personal names. Two page
vocabulary, probably Apache.
Provenance: This volume was returned to the Department of Anthropology, Columbia University in April 1955,
having been borrowed by Dr. Alexander Lesser in July, 1935. The volume is marked in ink along
the binding strip (not in Mooney's hand, possibly in Hewitt's) "Kiowa 1922." The number 1922 was
apparently not the catalog number of the volume, since that number is assigned to other material
which appears to have had that number since before the time of the loan. The volume was therefore
assigned to Ms. 2531 and designated Vol. 11.
