In 1868. So successful was he as an
Indian fighter that Clusters luck soon
became a slang phrase. With his height,
his long, flowing hair, his dashing APP
pearance, he was the most picturesque
character among the piainsmen OF that
day. He became widely known among
the Indians as Pay-hee-honska-Long
Hair.
His fighting policy was to endeavor
to strike CONSERVATION and terror in the
heart OF TIE red man.
I'm 1875 General Custer was sent up
Into the Dakota territory to serve against
the Sioux. And 1t was here that we re-
sumo the thread Of the long-guarded
secret of the Sioux-the truth about
Custer, his famous last stand, n the
mystery Of exactly how death came to
him.
II first heard bits of 1t being whis-
pered around the Indian campires of the
Montana prairies when I was a boy.
Story Told at Indian Council
ION two small reservations at Oak
Lake, Manitoba, and Moosejaw, Saskatch-
EVAN, / found the remnants Of Sitting
Bulls intrepid band who have for more
than q half century been refugees in a
foreign land.
II came to them as Tonh-shee-a
cousin-whose appreciation of c~iviliza-
ton has not marred his loyalty to his
own race or to the warriors who n so
CALAMITY defended its liberties. After
lengthy deliberations, these old warriors
decided to break their tacit pledge OF
silence and honor me with a full council.
TT was midwinter OF the northwestern
prairies. A council fire fickered sullen-
ly against the indoor eddies Of a 40
degrees-below-zero win which moaned
across the top Of the lodge. The old
braves, once known as Sitting Bull's
ghost warriors were seated in a large
circle around the fire, their legs folded
in front Of them, their bodies straight
and motionless, their blankets closely
drawn, their long hair encased down their
chests in ermine skins.
"As the pipe of faith and friendship
completed the round and was solemnly
laid to rest on the ground in front of
the headman, ~Pakadoshen, who lifted his
gaze from the fire and uttered a low,
gruff 'Hohp an explosive expulsion OF
breath, expressively indicating that the
council was ready to proceed.
Aid to Sitting Bull Tells Story
And slowly the following remarkable
story of Custer and Sitting Bull was un-
folded by the men who wrote this tragic
page of American frontier life. George
Pakadoshen, Sitting Bulls chief scout
and trusted aid, spoke for the most part,
though now and again he would call
upon some rinkled old veteran to m
pity or elaborate some important point
in the remarkable narrative.
1--WE had made peace with the Great
White Father, but as always 1T had been
broken Pakadoshen began. Settlers and
miners came into our lands and there
WAS trouble. Sitting Bull. u chief,
say we must leave our lands and go to
other hunting grounds. But even this

regiment set out from the mouth OF the
Rosebud to follow the kail OF a very
large band OF hostile Sioux which was

determined to strike at all of its prod
ucts or representatives in his effort to
stem the tide OF ar advancing white
invasion. From his camp he sent out
braves across the plains and mountains
to notify fellow native leaders that the
soldiers were coming to kill his people
and conf1scate their property. Ghost
dances were then kept up until the Sioux
nation was almost crazy with hate and
lust OF war. Daily. new arrivals thronged
in to aid in the final battle. Presently
the river was -ringed with lodges for a
space OF six miles. Here were the war
riors OF the Sioux, Cheyennes, Minne-
c%ontoues, Orgolies, Uncpapas, Yanktons.
Ogalallas. and a few Bloods and Piegans,
and representatives of many other ma
tions and tribes, whose tepees numbered
more than eighteen hundred.
On the Little Big Horn
Generals Terry and Custer had been
sent by the war department to subdue
Sitting Bull and force him with his fol-
lowers onto a reservation there to re-
main. The command Of Terry halted at
he mouth Of Rosebud river and held a
council, the result Of which was the
sending of General Custer forward with
a detachment Of the Seventh cavalry, to
strike the Indians at a certain designated
point, while Terry was to strike from an
other direction (up the Little Big Horn.
Custer arrived at his point ahead Of
schedule, and on June rs, after sending
Major Reno and part OF the command to
strike from the head of the camp, he
made his attack. The remainder of the
story is common knowledge to all Ameri-
cans
On two different occasions, it has been
my privilege to visit the Custer battle
ground (now a National Monument), one
Of these being at the time Of the exer-
ctses which marked the forty-ffth an
nfversary OF the battle, In June. 1921. On
both OF these trips, with others I was
guided over the contours OF the famous
hill: old-timers and aged indian chiefs

forces; the battle in a. It's gruesome de-
tail was re-enacted before me.
terrible picture of terrific action unfold
ed. I could vision this yellow-haired
hero-General George A. Custer-calling
his men together and telling them Of the
hard fight ahead, at the same time voic-
ing the assurance that II each man
would stand to his post. their efforts
would be crowned with victory. I could
picture absolute confidence on the coun-
tenance OF that military leader. He had
sent Major Reno to attack the Indian
camp at the head Of the creek; and with
the remainder OF his command, he was,
himself, to strike the enormous village
at its lower end. He was not aware Of
the fact that Reno had crossed the river
with part OF his men, but had been
forced back; nor hat Rem was COM

arose. He called Tor a camp crier' and
instructed him to go through the camp,
stop the dances and call a council Of war.
Sitting Bulls Plea for His Friend
When all the warriors had gathered,
Sitting Bull faced his command. He was
grave in demeanor. He said:
"I I'M Sitting Bull, your chief. Hear
me. Tomorrow We fight. We fight Pay
hee-honska (Custer). To us 1t will be a
great day. But / am not happy. A thing
has been hurting my heart; and when a

HE had divided his command into
three columns and was leading the mid
die column himself. His men were GAL
Looping along behind him in a happy

ously still under the pleasant effects of
