The last paragraph of the blog has some great news for researchers: ". . . Recognizing the tremendous historical value of these records, National Archives Research Services staff across the country have been working on a multiyear project to create a new website better detailing these holdings nationwide and how to find them.

We first catch up with Hairy Moccasin 15 years later [after the Battle of the Little Bighorn] in an 1891 tribal census from the Census Rolls and Tribal Enumerations, 1889-1920 (NAID 1756288). He is married to Quick and the pair have two sons – Fire Head and Kills the Mud Thrower. Quick’s 70 year old mother also lives with them.The blog continues to trace his life and even includes an image of his will.
