Individual Details

Mr. Tripp was once a famous Indian fighter. He led a party of settlers in pursuit of the Cheyenne and Sioux after they had made a raid into Kansas and stolen Mrs. Morgan and a Miss White. Later he served in the long campaign against the Sioux, which terminated in the expulsion of the Sioux after the Custer massacre. Mr. Tripp was a scout in the service then, but at the time Custer went into the trap of the Little Big Horn was following the band of Indians, guarding the women and children and was one of the potent factors effecting the capture of the entire bunch.  -- obituary
