Five of the letters are 8 1/2" x 11"; one is on 9" x 12" sketch pad sheet with spiral perforations at top. These attractive letters/envelopes are correspondence to a noted NW book dealer & collector, 1971-72. Subjects are Indians: Beecher Island fight, "headchief and young mule", "Plight of the 'Human Beings' (Cheyenne) after escape from Fort Dodge", "horse stealing party", "war party of Blackfoot (sic) killed buy (sic) crows in 1872", magpie on "Unknown 7th Cavalry" marker ("..what the birds might know..")". A couple of individual vignettes accompany the more full scale sketches. A couple of sketches are in pencil & uncolored. Although done in Powell's early career when he was 17-18 years old, these illustrations are splendid, indeed. Powell is the son of the fine Western artists, Ace Powell & Nancy Powell McLaughlin.
