Nebraska State Historical Society) OGLALA SOURCES ON THE LU'E OF CRAZY HORSE IlItervielVs givell to Eleallor H. Hillmall EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION In June. 1930. Eleanor Hinman, a stenographer at the University of Nebraska, drove to the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Sioux reservations in South Dakota. She was accompanied by Mari Sandoz. and they traveled in a Model T Ford coupe. The two women (Miss Hinman was 30, and Miss Sandoz was 36) were members of Quill, a literary club for women. Miss Hinman had become interested in the life of Crazy Horse. the great Oglala warrior, and the purpose of her trip was to interview Indians who had known him. It is not known why Miss Hinman invited Mari Sandoz, who at this time had written nothing about the Indians. Their work at the reservation was aided by Helen Blish, a Lincoln friend who had interviewed elderly Sioux for her graduate thesis. As Miss Blish had done, they hired John Colhoff, official interpreter for the Pine Ridge Agency. After their work was concluded, they visited the Black Hills and the Custer battlefield. On October 9. 1930, Miss Hinman sent a copy of her interviews to Dr. Addison E. Sheldon of the Nebraska State Historical Society: Here at long lasl is the record of our interviews on Crazy Horse.

Dakota Resources
Copyright © 1994 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Resources: The Investigation of Special Agent Cooper and Property Damage Claims in the Winter of 1890-1891 R. Eu PAUL The National Archives in Washington, D.C., holds over ten thousand cit- izen claims for property taken or destroyed by American Indians at war with the United States. The "Indian depredation" cases recorded in these claims span many decades, geographical regions, and cultural groups. Among some of the less well known records are the property claims made at the time of the Ghost Dance troubles on the Sioux Indian reservations, the Wounded Knee massacre, and the Sioux Campaign of 1890-1891- These records present an abundance of information about the people living in southwestern South Dakota at that time. In the fall of 1890, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the South Dakota home of five thousand Lakota, or western Sioux, five hundred Northern Cheyennes, and a handful of whites, saw a tremendous influx of invaders. On 20 November, about four hundred soldiers of the United States Army marched north from a Nebraska railhead to take control of Pine Ridge Agency, whose frantic agent had requested help in quelling the Ghost Dance. An assortment of hangers-on followed close behind^ozens of newspaper The author presented another version of this study at the 1993 annual conference of the West- ern Histoty Association in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during a session entitled "The People of the Sioux Reservations: New Archival Sources for Plains Indian History."

'~ ... f'l-~· ~-. -· . This study relates the contributions of.several-hundred--Ra~"Ilee Indians wh0,""' served as scouts in the United States Army between 1864 and 1877. Under the command of Major Frank J. North, these Indians assisted the frontier army in the military pacification of the West. They led missioils deep into contested territory, tracked hostile bands and guided the army to their camps, spearheaded attacks into enemy villages, carried messages and dispatches between different commands, guarded construction crews of the Union Pacific Railroad against Indian raiders, and, on more than one occasion, saved American troops from disaster in battle. The scouts were part of Major North's Pawnee Battalion. This unit soon established a reputation as highly effective and disciplined fighting force. This dissertation studies the reasons why the Pawnees were such successful allies of the United States. It argues that the Pawnees applied their knowledge and experiences of Plains Indian warfare to their new role as scouts for the frontier army.
