Here are some images I took last week at Blue Water Creek and the scene of the fighting, September 1855. The land is private property, but I know the landowner. Garden County, NE. Click to enlarge. I've got lots more, but here's a sampling. Comparing Harney's map with a modern topo quad:

Answered your PM and I'm sure he'll appreciate any new place-names!

Oh, jeez. Yes, thanks Carlo!
I read about this on LRI and also on Dakota's web site. I've been sending him place-names and sources lately. But, of course, it seems like he has almost everything!
Thanks so much for providing the entire link.

Makes sense. Keep me in mind, though. I have issues back to the 1930s.

Thanks, all.
Looking forward to someone creating a detailed index to the drawings themselves. The "things," people, events, etc. portrayed in them. Ephriam, still up for it?

Hi Carlo There old web site was, too. Amazingly bad web presence and very user-unfriendly
I suggest just calling them. (Nebraska State Historical Society)
If you need an article in old issue, I have many older ones, dating back decades. I could scan and post.

You may have already posted and discussed Dakota Wind's magnificent map of Lakota places names. An amazing feat and monumental amount of work. An invaluable resource. Hundreds and hundreds of names gathered from many sources---oral, written, old maps, etc. www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1pbLuALDtMHbxpigEh2

Interesting. I knew a Lily Shangrau here in Lincoln in the 1970s. She was married to John Two Birds Arbuckle.

In the mail today: My copies of the new 50th Anniversary Edition of A Pictographic History of the Oglala Sioux, drawings by Amos Bad Heat Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Čhaŋté Šíča), text by Helen Blish. New historical introduction by me, and new artistic introduction by Candace Greene of the Smithsonian. This is an important new edition (with new scans of the drawings made directly from the rediscovered glass plates) of a work that has been long out of print. I am honored and grateful to be a part of it. This volume is the most complete and in depth examination of Oglala history and ethnography. Created in visual form by a member of the Čhaŋkȟahuhaŋ or Soreback Band of Oglala. (Big thanks to Kingsley and Ephriam for their help with Soreback band history.) Attachments:

What a treat to receive my latest issue of Nebraska History (I'm a subscriber) and see Kingsley's two articles! I can't wait to settle down to read them. Truly astonishing new work and a significant contribution, especially to our understanding of the early history of the Oglala.
Bravo, Kingsley!

Matson and the Clown family brothers were here in Lincoln a couple of weeks ago and I attended their talk. (Only a handful of people showed up.) I found it all very interesting. I have no dog in the fight, but am always open to more information.

I finally have gotten this volume via Interlibrary Loan. Beautifully done, impeccable scholarship. An important work. Thank you, Rod Thomas!

akpancake33 I'm sorry I did not see your post until now. Since you signed in as a guest, I don't know how to contact you. Please private message me. I met another descendent of Marcella's up at Timber Lake SD a few years ago. It was great to see her and descendants of Josephine's meet. They had been lost to each other. I hope we can connect.
Emily
