Summary[edit]

Description
Wichita women.

"Wichita women were well dressed from the waist down." The women of the other southern Plains tribes - Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, Kiowa - were by present-day standard excessively modest in their dress. The Wichitas at first constituted an exception, but the Quaker agents and the missionaries soon brought them into line. Before these women learned that it was wrong to appear in public partly nude, Soule obtained a series of photographs which undoubtedly sold well at Fort Sill as prairie pin-ups.
