Head-and-shoulders profile portrait of Wolf Lies Down, an Apsaroke. His biography is given in The North American Indian in volume 4, p.208. 'Born about 1843. Mountain Crow; Never Shoots, Packs Game clan; Fox organization. Never obtained medicine by vision, but purchased wolf-medicine, paying five hundred elkteeth. Counted one dakshe by leaping over a rocky barrier among the enemy, who were in a deep hole protected by stones and brush - the leap was in itself a dangerous feat. Captured one gun, and one horse tethered in the enemy's camp; led one successful party against the Yanktonai at Fort Peck; was one of the leaders of a party that killed seven Sioux. Once accepted the curved staff of the Foxes, but did not have occasion to use it, as there was little fighting in the succeeding summer. In the battle with the Sioux on Pryor creek (see page 91) his brother-in-law, One Feather, lost his horse and was surrounded by the enemy; Wolf Lies Down turned back, took him on his own horse, and though wounded in the head made his escape with great difficulty.'
