(Capture Of Sitting Bull) An account of the capture of Sitting Bull as reported in the Helena Weekly Herald, 8pp., July 28, 188 1 The brief page three story reports in part: he finally concluded it was best to come in with his forty lodges and draw his government [support]... he peacefully surrendered to Capt. Clifford, the friend of Gaul... This ends the Indian anxiety... he was a nucleus for disaffected and ambitious young bucks bent on raising mischief. On page five they describe the great chief..... a swarthy buck... sadly lacking a commanding or impressive appearance... his word is law. Also included in the paper is mention of Billy the Kid being a New Yorker, and the slow recovery of Garfield from his shooting. Fine condition.
