Noel Daggett's depiction of a group of Apache on horseback heading through a small valley in the desert landscape of the American Southwest is a typical example of the artist's work featuring Native Americans.
The inscription on the verso reads: Apaches returning from the border of Mexico, where forays of looting and killing were out of hand. In 1883 General Crook came to the Arizona territory to rid this menace. Enlisting Apaches as scouts to eliminate their own. The rifle is a golden bay Winchester with brass tacks in the stock.
