Wool like the blue of this warrior's leggings came from England. Broadcloth woven in the Stroud valley of Gloucestershire was traded into North America in such quantity that the cloth itself became known simply as stroud. A trade list from 1759 records pieces of red stroud and blue side by side, and by the 1700s Gloucestershire broadcloth was the largest and most valuable item in the trade. Warriors made it into leggings, breechcloths and blankets. The same mills also turned out red cloth for British army coats. A warrior and the redcoats he fought could be wearing wool from the same valley.

This warrior lies on his back where he fell, his arms folded across his chest and his head turned to one side. He wears a red calico shirt printed in a white pattern, strings of beads, silver earrings and a red head wrap, with a tattoo on his upper arm. His blue leggings are tied with red garters above quill-decorated moccasins. His musket, its stock painted blue, lies across his body with a bundle of hawk feathers tied to it. Set him at the foot of Native Warrior Casualty, Falling for the cost of a fight. Add Native Warrior Advancing Pointing and Native Warrior Yelling War Cry as the rest of the war party pushes on.
