I'm working over Turning Hawk at the moment, and without doubt hiis bout with one of the scouts involved either Bloody Knife or Little Brave - a Sioux named Brush and chief. Brush was Red Wolf, he and One Wolf were brought up by Bloody Knife or Little Brave whom I believe adopted the boys by marriage to their sisters. That research is ongoing but firming up. It would be great to prove that Circling Hawk was the warrior medicined up with red and yellow face paint.
Turning Hawk mentioned in a 1930 interview with Walter Campbell, (Indian Views;R.G. Hardorff, p143-146) that he got another horse and returned to the fight, but only a few soldiers were left. He was with Bad Bear and Little Buffalo. A soldier grabbed Little Buffalo who struck out with his whip and took the soldiers horse.
Was Little Buffalo, Joseph/Lazy White Bull?
Did Turning Hawk's map ever materialise?

Little Buffalo and Lazy White Buffalo were two different people. The map has never surfaced so far as I know. Hunk |

Whilst we are on the topic of Indians (scouts), I was reading through the book ‘’Where Custer Fell’’ and there is a part which the scout White Man Runs Him (or Mahr-Itah-Thee-Dah-Ka-Roosh) says that six of Reno’s men (survivors from the Reno battle) were brought to Custer, is there any truth in this ?

Ian. If someone printed it then it must be true; right? What page number? bc |

Hi Britt. Off the top of my head I think its page 74, as I said I don’t know how true this story is, I have never come across it before.

Ian. Ian, if I recollect accurately, "Where Custer Fell" in that context was citing what the three Crows, Hairy Moccasin, Goes Ahead and White Man Runs Him had relayed to Edward S. Curtis. What they told Curtis was sensational and in my opinion was meant to be. All the post-battle spotlight had been on Curley and the other three Crows were jealous so they made up stories for Curtis to make themselves look important. The 'six Reno men' come into that category, but what is pertinent is what they said to General H.L. Scott and Tim McCoy, especially the former in a question and answer session. Those interviews are in "The Custer Myth."Hunk |
