HOLLOW HORN BEAR - BRULÉ
Born 1850. First war-party at twelve, against Pawnee. At nineteen he took the pipe and led a party which killed a number of Pawnee wood haulers. Struck a first coup - "kill right" - in that battle. After that his father, Iron Shell, desired him to take that name, but he said he would take his grandfather's name instead, and make the name Hollow Horn Bear good. During his career as a warrior he counted coup many times and participated in twenty-three fights with Pawnee, Omaha, Ponca, Shoshoni, Ute, Arikara, and United States troops. He was present at the Custer fight.
