They will be powerful people, strong, tough. They will
fly up in the air, into the sky, they will dig under the earth,
they will drain the earth and kill it. All over the earth they
will kill the trees and the grass, they will put their own
grass and their own hay, but the earth will be dead-all
the old trees and grass and animals. They are coming closer
all the time. Back there, New York, those places, the earth
is already dead. Here we are lucky. It's nice here. It's pretty.
We have this good air. This prairie hay still grows. But
they are coming all the time, turn the land over and kill it,
more and more babies being born, more and more people
coming. That's what He said.
He said the white men would be so powerful, so strong.
They could take thunder, that electricity from the sky, and
light their houses. Maybe they would even be able to reach
u p and take the moon, or stars maybe, one or two. Maybe
they still can't do that . . .
Our old food we used to eat was good. T h e meat from
buffalo and game was good. It made us strong. These cows
are good to eat, soft, tender, but they are not like that meat.
Our people used to live a long time. Today we eat white
man's food, we cannot live so long-maybe seventy, maybe
v
eighty years, not a hundred. Sweet Medicine told us that.
He said the whit,e man was too strong. He said his food
would be sweet, and after we taste that food we want it,
and forget our own foods. Chokecherries and plums, and
wild turnips, and honey from the wild bees, that was our
food. This other food is too sweet. W e eat it and forget.
. . . It's all coming true, what He said.

John Stands In Timber died on June 17, 1967, as this book

-the work he cherished most of all in a long lifetime-was
in press. Those of us who have worked with him over a decade
to make it a reality have been saddened beyond measure that
he will never hold it i n his hands.
One of the greatest and simplest of people, he now rests
among the great and the simple of his tribe. H e might like
best for us to remember him with the words of one of his
favorite warrior songs:
" M y friends, only the stones stay on earth forever. Use your
best ability."

 Acknowledgments

Many people and institutions have helped in the preparation

of this book.
Thanks are first due the Association on American Indian
Affairs for the year's research grant through which the initial
recording was done. Dr. Henry S. Forbes was instrumental in
arranging this.
John W. Vaughn, Don Rickey, Jr., Edgar I. Stewart, Elmer
Kobold, Bill Smurr, and Harry Fulmer all read sections of
manuscript and made helpful comments and corrections as
well as lending invaluable support.
Mrs. E. G. Mygatt, Charles Erlanson, Dick Williams, and my
brother Robert Pringle assisted in obtaining pictures or per-
mitted the use of their own. T h e Smithsonian Institution was
also very helpful in this respect.
Mrs. Janet Mullin of Lame Deer, Montana, undertook to
help John Stands In Timber transcribe his memories before
I knew him. A section of this early narrative has been drawn
upon for Chapter 13.
My mother, Helena Huntington Smith, is due great thanks
for careful reading and cogent criticism of an early draft.
Others contributing editorial advice beyond the call of duty
vii
viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

have included Chester Ken-, David Horne, and John Gud-

mundsen, of Yale University Press.
Robert Utley has given invaluable service in lending his
detailed knowledge of the Indian Wars to a critical review of
the manuscript and to essential expansion of the annotations.
Montana State University, American Heritage magazine,
and T h e Westerners N e w York Posse Brand Book are to be
thanked for permitting the use of material first published by
them, appearing in Chapters 9, l a , and 18.
My teachers in anthropology have been steady sources of
encouragement. Professor Carling Malouf of Montana State
University thought from an early time that this undertaking
was important. Professor E. Adamson Hoebel made possible
advanced graduate study at the University of Minnesota and
gave invaluable assistance through his own detailed knowledge
of the Cheyennes. Professor Elden Johnson of that institution
reviewed the first six chapters and made many suggestions.
Professor Pertti Pelto gave counsel at many points along the
road, of a sort for which his students are constantly grateful.
Alvin M. Josephy, Jr. deserves a very special note of thanks,
for penetrating the gloom of an early period of revision in
Montana and for causing me to feel then, as he has many times
since, that all was not lost and hopeless.
And finally, Ellen Cotton of Decker, Montana, deserves
tribute quite beyond the power of language. She has given me
and my family a home for several summers, while working
inexhaustibly as research associate, typist, and assistant in
everything else that has had to be done. She has prepared the
index, and by now knows John's material in all its ramifica-
tions at least as well as I do.

 Preface to the Second Edition

It has been more than forty years since I met John Stands In Timber
(1882-1967) in Superintendent Carl Pearson's office at the Northern
Cheyenne Agency at Lame Deer, Montana, and thirty years since
his death and the first publication of Cheyenne Memories.1
Many changes have since affected the Cheyennes, who fought so
hard for their Montana homeland and made the epic 1878 outbreak
from Oklahoma back to the pine-topped red hills of the Tongue
River country after being imprisoned in the wake of the Custer
fight. A tribal college named after the chief Dull Knife now graces
the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Lame Deer. Cheyenne dead
killed in the Fort Robinson outbreak have been returned from the
Smithsonian for reburial in the Two Moons cemetery at Busby. Arti-
facts that were in historical museums have been "repatriated" to
members of the tribe. Winds of change have swept the reservation
since the rise of the American Indian Movement in the 1970S, espe-
cially on the Trail of Broken Treaties in 1974 and during the subse-
I . Stands In Timber gavc me his birthdate as, March 1884. the year the reservation
\$a5 established. Later historians have used 1882, but he never gave this date to me or
changed his earlier statement. Shortly before his death, however, I received a letter from
his grandson, Ronald Glenmore. claiming that Stands In Timber was born in 1882. so
perhaps this is correct.

quent occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota. Administra-

tion of primary and secondary schools has been returned to the
tribe, along with greatly increased powers over its own political des-
tiny. There are many new state and federal government programs
and o f i es-so many that the Lame Deer telephone book now lists
a large and confusing array of federal, state, and tribal offices and
programs.
Clark Wispier of the American Museum of Natural History, who
knew his Plains peoples, called the Cheyennes and their Arapaho
allies "the elite of the horse Indians, especially in regard to cere-
monies." He would find them so today. Sun Dancers still send up
prayers for world renewal each summer in a ceremony extraordinar-
ily close to rituals first reported a century ago. The Sacred Medicine
Hat in Montana (a major sacred relic in the north) continues under
the protection of a traditionally chosen Keeper in a special tribal
tepee, as do the Sacred Arrows in Oklahoma (a major sacred relic in
the south), which are kept alive by hereditary priests. T h u s is
ensured the continuity of blessings brought the people by the leg-
endary Sweet Medicine in the Black Hills, before the white man
came.
Some might question the value of this continuity. Poverty and
alcoholism stalk the little rural communities of Busby, Lame Deer,
Birney, Muddy, and Ashland, which have maintained their identities
against all odds since 1884. Some can hardly believe that this "reser-
vation century" (since 1880) has now outlasted the high period of
equestrian buffalo hunting (1775 to about 1876), when the
Cheyennes became fully adapted to the use of horses. Mighty eco-
nomic and social problems certainly prevail nowadays, but there is
no doubt that Cheyenne cultural identity and pride remain power-
ful, rooted in the courage and tenacity of a past that is one of the
wonders of American history.
The Cheyennes rnoved in the 1730s from Minnesota past the
Black Hills into the High Plains. Never a large tribe, they split into
northern and southern divisions after the Year the Stars Fell, 1833.
There ensued a period of fierce intertribal warfare against the Crow
Shoshoni, and Kiowa enemies for rich new gamelands made irre-
sistible by the recent acquisition of horses. Peace was made with the
Kiowas in 1840, and the main thrust of warfare was soon turned
 PREFACE T O I H E SECOND EDITION xv

against invading whites. The Cheyennes appear as major players in

western U.S. military history over more than three decades, begin-
ning with the "Mormon cow incident" (when the killing of a stray
cow precipitated the first major engagement of the final struggle for
the plains) near Fort Laramie in 1854 (in which they were more
observers than participants), and ending with the famous outbreak
from Oklahoma in 1878-1879. During this time more than fifty
engagements with troops and civilians took place before the surren-
der of most of the Southern Cheyennes on March 6, 1875, and the
piecemeal surrender of the Northern Cheyennes in several groups in
1877.2 (As a postscript, a little known Northern Cheyenne version of
the Ghost Dance of 1890 is described by Stands In Timber.)

2 . T h e more significant fights between Cheyennes and whites prior to 1876 included
the 1856-1857 raids along the Kansas frontier; the 1857 Sumner fight on the Solomon
River, Kansas; 1863 -1864 raids and depredations along the Arkansas and Platte Rivers; a
prelude to Sand Creek on October 11, 1864, when Captain Nichols of the 3rd Colorado
Volunteers wiped out Big \\'olfs camps at Buffalo Springs, Colorado; and the infamous
1864 Chivington Massacre at a peaceful camp in Sand Creek, Colorado. November 29.
Consequent raids in 1865 along the Platte followed in a general frontier war (especially
atJulcsherg in January and Mud Springs-Rush Creek in February). Also in 1865 were the
July 25-26 attacks upon troops by Northern Cheyennes near Old Platte Bridge,
Wyoming, and the August-September Connor campaign into the Powder River coun~ry,
including an attack by the Cheyenne chief Roman Nose against Walker and Cole on
Powder River ("Roman Nose's Fight").
Episodes in 1866 related primarily to the Bozeman Trail, including the July 20 attack
at Crazy Woman's Fork against Lieutenants Templeton and Daniels, the December 6
attack on a military' wood train in which Lieutenant Horatio Bingham and a sergeant
u e r r killed, and the subsequent destruction of William Judd Fetterman's entire command
of eighty-two men at Fort Phil Kearny, \\'yonling. on December 21. Events in 1867
included the April 19 destruction by Hancock of a Cheyenne and Sioux village near Fort
Lamed, Kansas, the Hay-field Fight (August I) and Wagon Box Fight (August 21, and the
August 7 train ureck episode at Plum Creek (now Lexington), Nebraska
In 1868 came renewed raiding, followed by the Beecher Island battle on Aricaree
Fork. eastern Colorado. where Roman Nose was killed; and the November attack by
Custcr upon Black Kettle's village on the Washita River, Oklahoma. In 1869 came Carr's
crushing July n defeat of the Dog Soldiers at Summit Springs, Colorado. Several years
later came the Southern Cheyenne outbreak of 1874-1875, including a fight at Adobe
\Valls. Texas o n J u n e 2 7 , 1874; and continued pursuit of the Southern Cheyennes, result-
ing in their surrender March 6, 1875. A little-kno\\n subsequent event, though major in
Cheyenne cultural terms, was the Sappa Creek massacre of Cheyennes in a camp under
\\'hit(: Antelope and the Sacred Arrow Keeper Stone Forehead on April 23, 1875, in
Rawlins County, Kansas, in which Stone Forehead was killed. Subsequent engagements
are detailed above

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at [Link].

 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
[Link]/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: [Link].

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
