Thanks a lot for the article, Lilah an Diane! Regarding the scout called Cards or Gambler: Lilah M. Pengra writes he was the son of an African American man and a Native American woman and later was called Henry Kaddy. A man with the name Kaddy was enlisted in the first police unit at Fort Yates/Standing Rock in 1883. He is identified in a 1883 group photo: Kaddy
