DESCRIPTION	[Forrest:] Door into den from hall. This was taken from the Hall. The bronze Figures forming the electric light at the right was my fathers. The bought it almost 50 years ago. The Hopi Kachina Plaque just above the light on the right is form Oraibi Pueblo, AZ. I to it at Oraibi in 1907. The Hopi Kachina Plaque on the left of the door I got at Mishongnovi, AZ in 1907. The buffalo Skull with horns is from a buffalo killed in the latter 1870s on the plains of Colorado. I got it from Colorado about 1924. The Winchester Rifle just below the skull is a Model 1873, 38-40 caliber. The Tomahawk crossed with the pipe was found buried in a cotton tree trunk in the woods (Glenns Thicket) about a mile north of Washington, PA by Wm. Husteds brother. The Picture just above is a lithograph of the British buying scalps. It probably dates from the Revolution and is very rare. It was in the garret of the James Langly house, S. Main St, which stood on part of site of George Washingtons Hotel. The Hopi Antelope Plaque over the door at the left I got at Mishongnovi Pueblo, AZ, in 1907. I never saw another Hopi plaque this shape. The others were all circular. The Stetson with the horsehair band is another of my cowboy hats. The band was made by prisoners in the Yuma Penitentiary, Z. The muzzle loading rifle over the door is a very fine gun. See no. 5392 for history of this rifle. The Red Stone Peace Pipe with the Tomahawk is genuine, probably Sioux. I had the stern made. It is very fine.
