[edit] Ephriam Dickson
I am very interested in the history of Lakota-American relations, especially during the nineteenth century. I worked in high school and college as a tour-guide and historian with the Nebraska State Historical Society at Fort Robinson and have since worked for nearly twenty years professionally in museums. I have written a number of articles and currently have several larger manuscripts in progress.

[edit] Crazy Horse
A couple of corrections to the earlier version of the Crazy Horse post.
Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy was a civilian surgeon with Crook's troops in the summer of 1876, and was therefore not at the Little Big Horn or at Wolf Mountain.
Camp Robinson did not become known as Fort Robinson until 1878.
Crazy Horse and several other northern Oglala including He Dog, were enlisted as Indian Scouts, but not in an effort to persuade him to go to Washington, D.C. Lieut. Clark however did work hard to maintain a strong relationship with Crazy Horse and later that fall, did attempt to persuade the Oglala war leader to go to see the President.
