Presenter Sun Rose Iron Shell gives an in-depth look at Great Plains testimonials created on antique ledger paper printed here in Sioux City by Perkins Brothers Printing Company. The warriors of the Plains have always documented what they have witnessed and when new technologies came their narratives began to thrive.
