| Segesser Hide Painting |
|
| The painting, on buffalo hide, shows Pawnee and Oto Indians fighting Spanish and French soldiers in 1720. The Spanish soldiers, shown here, wore broad-brimmed leather hats, long leather coats, and carried leather shields, lances, and escopetas. This is how the soldiers at Los Adaes would have been dressed. The appearance here is not very uniform and it is highly unlikely that all the soldiers would have been dressed in exactly the same style and color uniform like soldiers in modern armies. |
