Natyinehitha Born in 1861 in western Montana. He first went on the war-path at the age of eighteen, but gained no honors. During a fight against the Piegan he counted a second coup. He participated in the battle in which the twenty-one Piegan were killed and slew one in the pits with the knife of the enemy. On another expedition he killed two horses of the Piegan, and shot a man through both legs. He married at the age of twenty-two.
So maybe his epitaph should read, "If at first you don't succeed, try - try again?"
ReplyDeleteI went on the war path at the same age. I think that I have a higher body count, but it's not much to be proud of.
