ghost dancers, and then the command charged

The shell had its frightening effect on the
savages. who held aloof though still pouring in
their fire. which was answered by the soldiers
as Fechet himself took rapid course to the log
house, with his life in his hands every step of
the way.
Inside the hut found three Of the Indian

The Northern Cheyennes had been sent to
reservation in the Indian territory following
of the uprisings against the whites. Their hearts
they left behind them in their old home and the
warriors yearned to return.
Late in the fall of the year 1873 the Cheyenne

When Gen Miles learned OF the teachings OF
