HISTORICAL SOCIETY
GETS Pipe or
SITTING BULL

Visitors to the State Historical at
Madison may now see the peace pipe
made of red pipestone which as once
he personal possession of the famous
Sioux chieftain, Sitting Bull. For
many years Sitting Bull was one of
he leaders OF his race in its warfare
against the United States. After the
Custer massacre of 1876 and the sub
sequeDt overthrow of the red men by
our army, many OF the hostiles, Sit
ting Bull among them, sought refuge
in Canada. There in May, 1881, the
noted warriors pipe was traded to a
white man for 100 pounds of flour and
pounds of tea. The purchaser pre-
scented the pipe to his life long friend,
Robert B. Lang, who has been for
years a resident of Racine, and Mr..
Lang has now given it, along with
numerous other interesting Indian OBJ
jects, to the State Historical Society.
The signature or seal of Sitting Bull,
a crude drawing of bull in ram
pant attitude, is attached to certif-
icate reciting the purchase OF the pipe.

ton Of Mrs. Wilcox is not given In its
