I went through all 200 and something Oglalas on that site to see if I could match up anybody !!

but I couldn't see anybody ... of course they are all at least 20 years older !!

This is for fillupe ... just in case he's looking !! 

I found Willoughby James (Jim Kid) - "King of the Cowboys" in the index of this site ... but I can't figure out what they have !!

As George C Crager liked to "wheel and deal" a bit ... I wonder if this Civil War Pension is his .... ? 

[liverpool annie]

Though I did find this ....  ... it could of course be a different one ... but the fact that he's in Wyoming and close to the Indian Wars makes me wonder !!   

1880

Fort Sanders Albany Wyoming

Also ... I found out George was adopted by Chief Two Strike in 1878 ... that's why he knew the language so well .....  but if that's the case .... I wonder if the soldier is "Our George " ??
