content: Touch [the] Cloud. A cousin of Chief Crazy Horse, the Miniconjou warrior was a close companion of of the noted chief. He fought side by side with him in practically all hostile engagements he participated in. He was present when No Water's attempt to take the life of his cousin was frustrated by alert braves. In fact Touch Cloud disarmed the would-be assassin before he could inflict further damage. [All the above very questionable and unlikely.] Touch Cloud's role in the final stages preceding his cousin's tragic death, can be explained in terms of a devoted kin, and a close companion, who remained true to him through the perils encountered following his surrender to military authorities and up to the time of his death, for he was at the warrrior's bedside when the end came. [This is true.] William J. Bordeaux, Custer's Conqueror, [1952 ?], following page 78.
