At the age of 21, in 1869, [1867 ? unlikely] he accompanied the first Sioux delegation to the National Capital as an interpreter for the delegation.

content: He met and talked to Crazy Horse on the eve of his tragic death. The meeting occured inside of Touch Cloud's lodge, after they had received word that the warrior had arrived at Spotted Tail's village located within view of Post Sheridan. On the fifth day of September, he and Lee, accompanied by a host of Brule scouts escorted Crazy Horse to Post Robinson, Nebraska, and turned him over to the officer of the day. [These details questionable.] Following the cessation of hostilities he established a ranch in Todd County, South Dakota, which he successfully operated until his death in 1917. William J.
