farewell
Fol more than so years, Plenty Coo
has been a chief of his people. In early
manhood, by each Of the hazardous ex-
plotts set down by tradition, culminat-
Ing by leading a victorious war party
without 'oss, he earned the title Of war
chief, testified to by the half circle scar
cut deep into his shoulder. In leading
war parties against Piegans and Sioux
and other enemies. he won the name
Plenty Coos, or Coups, from the success
OF his encounters. With a band OF Crow
scouts, he was with General Crook at the
battle OF the Rosebud 10 days before the
Custer disaster, where the vigilance OF
the Indians did much to save Crooks
men from a like fate at the hands of
Crazy Horse.
While jealous to guard the rights of
the Crows, Plenty Coos has been a con-
sistent friend OF the government INC his
counsel has ever been for peace and adj
justment to the new conditions, even
when efforts to exploit or deal unjustly
with the Indians brought anger and in
cipient rebellion. At the same time he
was shrewd and skillful in negotiation
n In treaties with the government al
ways drove a good bargain for the Crows.
