Little Wolf

Listen, my friends, I am a friend of the white people and have been so for a long time. I do not want to see blood spilt about this agency. I am going north to my own country. If you are going to send your soldiers after me, I wish you would let us get a little distance away. Then if you want to fight, I will fight you, and we can make the ground bloody at that place.

Little Wolf led 300 Cheyenne off the Reservation. The soldiers followed but never could catch the Indians. Little Wolf made good the escape to Montana where he was allowed to stay. Later, he worked as a scout for the Army.
