The subject line was all I received from an Australian website visitor other than the fact that the email was sent from his iPad.
Let's play a little game:
He used three words for his question. Answer it in three words!

Are the letters valued, as in the popular game? Do we get more points for less words? If so. Squint Eyes. Mosquito. Both Northern Cheyenne, give me the rules and I will pick one!
I reality, I think you may have nailed it. Tell me however, about powder burns, would have anyone told us?
Regards,
Tom

Looks like Rain! (sorry, couldn't resist that one). Conversely, I wondered but have never seen anything on who Custer killed. With the shell casings found he must have got a few before his demise?
Best wishes

Buffalo Road Calf Woman . . . but because that's more than three words she also known as Brave Woman.
In 2005 Northern Cheyenne storytellers broke more than 100 years of silence about the battle, and they credited Buffalo Calf Road Woman with striking the blow that knocked Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer off his horse before he died.
Just because there were shell casings found next to Custer doesn't mean he actually hit anything . . . if in fact there were shell cases found. Indians would have picked up all useable material from the battle, especially shell casings.

Crzhrs,
My wordplay above, (the abridged 'it looks like Rain in The Face' may have done it), is not something I actually believe, I know he denied it later in life. I'm not familiar with the Buffalo Road Calf Woman story, do you have any links I could pursue?
Best wishes
Joe

I think the Cheyennes own their stories. I doubt any individual owns the Brooklyn bridge. So which one is a fraud?
Survivors get to tell the stories

Joe G: There are numerous sources on the web regarding Buffalo Calf Road Woman but here's a link for more info on Buffalo Road Calf Woman that is really good. The BRCW account is near the bottom of the story: helenair.com/news/state-and-regional/article_fcf44c96-cfb6-56f4-9c57-062e944350ce.htmlPequod: I assume everything an Indian stated or states is a "story". They never tell the truth and just try to fool the White Man? Here's what Kate Big Head said about BRCW: Calf Trail Woman had a six-shooter, with bullets and powder, and she fired many shots at the soldiers. She was the only woman there who had a gun. She stayed on her pony all the time, but she kept not far from her husband, Black Coyote. . . . At one time she was about to give her pony to a young Cheyenne who had lost his own, but I called out to them, “Our women have plenty of good horses for you down at the river.” . . . She took the young Cheyenne up behind her on her own pony and they rode away toward the river. This same woman was also with the warriors when they went from the Reno creek camp to fight the soldiers far up Rosebud creek about a week before. . . . She was the only woman I know of who went with the warriors to that fight. |
