Story Of Wounded Knee
Battle Told by P. F.
Wells; Answer to the
Rapid City Journal

The Rapid City Journal of January
line of Pine Ridge Agency. in which
it is claimed that the Indians resent
the manner in which the Moving
Picture films, recently made, repre-
senting the Battle of Wounded Knee,
and that they will send delegation
to Washington to file a protest with
the government. The article was
called to the attention of the Press,
and appeared so Unfair that a repre-
sentative of this paper Interview
Mr.. Philip Wells, who was an inter
prefer for Col. Forsyth at the time
of tho battle, and who also took
prominent part in the re-enactment
of the battle for the movies.
The Journal article charged that
Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Col. 'Bdf-
falo Bill'' Cody. took a prominent
part in the battle as represented by
the films. This, Mr.. Wells informs us
is not fact. General Miles was at
the Pine Ridge Agency and at no
time did he appear on the ground
where the scenes of the famous bat
ties were being re-enacted and the
only time that he appears in the pict-
ures IS at the Agency when they were
re-enacting the treaty that he made
with the Indians in 1891. and review
ing the troops before they departed
for their respective posts. AS for
Col. Cody, he does not appear in the
pictures of the battle at all. and was
on the ground merely as spectator,
as were several thousand others.
1t is also charged in the article that
the pictures show that the Indians
were about equal in number to the
soldiers. This is undoubtedly fact
but it is impossible to re-enact scene
of this kind and have 1t strictly cor
rect. At the time of the battle and
during the entire period of the trouble
there were three regiments of caval-
nv, about the same number of infant
ry, and the lat artillery. but at the
time the movies were taken the goy-
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1914-01-09

ernment permitted but few soldiers
from the 18th cavalry and only one
piece Of artillery to enact the entire
scene of the battle.
1t is also claimed by the Journal
article that only one Indian escaped
from the battle and that the rest we're
either killed or wounded, mostly kill
ed. Mr.. Wells informs us that a num-
her of .he Indians survived the bat
tie and that several of them took
prominent parts in the re.enactmenu
of the scenes-among them being
Dewey Bird, one of the Indians most
gallant fighters, and Joe Horn Cloud,
who at the re-enactmept acted as in
terpreter.
The Journal states that the movies
show that the Indians started the bat
tie by the iIling of Captain Wallace,
while at the actual battle he was kill
ed by bullet from the soldiers rifle
and that all the dead aud wounded
soldiers were killed in that manner
because of the peculiar formation of
the soldiers at the time OF rhe battle
the formation claimed to be that of q
hollow square, with the Indians on
the inside. The killing of Captain
Wallace, as told by Mr.. Wells, an eye
witness of the scenes of the real bat
tie, is correct as shown by the movies;
that it would have been impossible
for Captain Wallace to have been
killed with bullet from the rifle of a
soldier on account of their formation,
which was not by any means in that
of hollow square.
A short time before the battle be-
gan the soldiers and Indians camped
on large fiat just north of a deep
canyon. which runs west from Wound
ed Knee creek and which is crossed
by wagon road leading from medi-
cine Root to Pine Ridge. The tents
of the Indians were set along the
edge of this canyon aud Just to the
north of the tents was stationed Com
psny X, commanded by Captain
Wallace, while to the east of them
was stationed another regiment along
the road-the two regiments forming
the angle of square, In this angle
were the Indians at the time the fight
began. To the north, aud on the
top of high hill, was stationed
Hotchkiss' battery to guard against
the approach of otner hostile Indians.
