  • Legends of the West
    1 This novel is dedicated to Vivian Towlerton For the memories of good times past 2 This novel was written mostly during the year 2010 CE whilst drinking the fair-trade coffee provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington Most of the research was conducted during the year 2010 CE upon the free Wi-Fi provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington. My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

  • The Legacy of Archeological Investigations at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Montana
    UNCOVERING HISTORY: THE LEGACY OF ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE LITTLE BIGHORN BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL MONUMENT, MONTANA By Douglas D. Scott United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2010 UNCOVERING HISTORY: THE LEGACY OF ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT THE LITTLE BIGHORN BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL MONUMENT, MONTANA By Douglas D. Scott Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No. 124 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Midwest Archeological Center United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2010 This report has been reviewed against the criteria contained in 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1) and, upon recommendation of the Midwest Regional Office and the Midwest Archeological Center, has been classified as Available Making the report available meets the criteria of 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The archeological overview and assessment of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument describes some relic collecting efforts and the professional archeological investigations that have been conducted in the park since the battle took place in 1876. The Little Bighorn battlefield became an archeological site the moment the battle ended, although it took the evolution o the field of anthropological archeology over the next 100 years before the necessary theoretical and methodological means were at hand to tease information from the context of the fight’s debris. The monument has a prehistoric as well as historic legacy in its archeological record. There are ten archeological sites in the boundary. Two are prehistoric lithic scatters and eight are isolated prehistoric finds. The prehistoric materials and sites have been deemed not eligible to the National Register of Historic Places.
