Alex Charging Crow (Adee Dodge Papers) asserts that Little Big Man was shot and wounded in the shoulder by trader John 'Reshaw' Richard, supposedly around 1860. No other significant details other than that it was part of a raid. Have not read about this anywhere else, does anybody have more information?

I don't. I'm pretty sure it's Bourke who comments on the fact LBM's body carried quite a few scars. Interesting to see Charging Crow is no admirer of Crazy Horse.

If it is true, it seemed that it would have happened in a raid on Reshaw's trading post / bridge in the early 1860s. So far I couldn't find anything in the book by Jefferson Glass on Reshaw.
On LBM's scars: in reciting his war record, Charging Crow stated that LBM was shot in the shoulder four different times, two by arrow and two by rifle (incl. Reshaw's shot)!

I am curious if anymore info from anybody on this? I actually emailed Jefferson Glass and asked if he had heard this and he had not. This is good info and an account and it also tells me my grandfather Jules Shangrau was killed by an Indian in a bar named Announcer who had a bad heart after his brothers death and started killing white people in a bar in Colorado, with Jules Shangrau being a victim.
