Paul Eagle Star and Buffalo Bill Cody

[fillupe]

Annie & Ambly - I don't have any information on Paul Eagle Star's family. I have post a message on Legends Of America, Native American's Forum asking for information of his descendants but it's been a 'dry well' so far.

Regards
Philip

Departing Hull Arriving NY 21 May 1888 Persian Monarch

[fillupe]

Annie - I believe that 1888 arrivals may have been some of the B.B.W.W.S. troops returning from their 1887 tour.  Even though the tours lasted over a year the Indians were not allowed to be gone that long as many were 'Prisoners of War' and on release from confinement. Chief Charging Thunder was one of the tour Indians that decided to leave the tour and stay in the U.K..  In addition to that there was some level of public concern and/or 'Christian Outrage' that 'Tour Indians' were being mistreated. This concern had a lot to do with the number of deaths that occurred among the Tour Indians. Several died from poor health due to such wasting diseases as tuberculosis. Because of this preception there was significant public pressure to prevent the Indians from joining 1891-92 tour altogether. Public concern was overruled by the Commission of Indian Affairs.

I believe Paul Eagle Star first joined the show for the 1891-92 tour. Information that was provided by the Carlisle School suggest he was there from 1882 until 1887 where he was schooled and trained to be a blacksmith. He did return to the Rosebud Reservation and work as a blacksmith by 1889. Early newspaper reports stated he was killed in the Wounded Knee Massacre (12/29/1890) which of course he wasn't.

Annie - This is a 1887 photo of B.B.W.W.S. performers aboard a sailing ship. This Merritt & Wagner photograph is displayed at 'American Treasures of The Library of Congress' web site. It's of reasonable quality but low display resolution so it's difficult to make any individual identifications. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain a higher resolution version.

Hi Annie
Have sent you the names on the Persian Monarch manifest, off list!

I have been googling (again!) , trying out all the names from those Census re: Thomas William Eagle Star, suspected son of Paul...... Trying to find out who Antelope and Ada were, but not having much luck, thinking they might be the parents of either Paul or his wife.

Can't find a thing on "Yellow Leaf", the 1891 wife of Paul Eagle Star!

But I did find this:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sdtripp/lucy_edith_eagle_hawk.htm

An obit for a Lucy Edith Eagle Hawk who died in 2003. It mentions she has a surviving brother whose name exactly matches the 2nd youngest of Thomas William Eagle Star (which I sent you by PM). And Thomas's also had a daughter named Lucy, the 3rd youngest.  The area on the obit is Winner and Ideal in SD - which I gather is all around the Rosebud area??

Could Lucy and her brother be grandchildren of Paul ? And maybe the brother is still living!!

Also was there ever any mention that Paul had any siblings?
I came across an Iver Eagle Star, also Brule , He died in 1934 age 69 (so born abt 1865), He was also a Preacher,
