"Slowly a congregation was built up: Jim Grass, the Iron Clouds, Louis Bush; and farther down the creek were Ben Janis , the Twisses, John Pourier-all with large families." [Reservation Roundup, pg. 45]
"By 1916, the country was booming with horses, at top prices due to the war time plans for using horse drawn cannon and Cavalry in Europe. Neighbor's boys found jobs easily as cowboys, mail carriers, clerks in stores, etc. Some of my brothers liked cowboying best. Bob Brewer started clerking in the Corder Store in Pine Ridge.

17 Susanna Richard was war in January, 1891 at
Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA; "Sometime between a January 8-12, 1891 in the following the Wounded Knee Massacre we find the following citation about Suzanne Richards. The aged Chief Red Cloud had been among those who fled from his home in Pine Ridge and had taken refuge in the Stronghold. There, as discontent developed, he sent word out that he was being held captive by the ghost dancers. When no one came to his rescue he had his son smuggle him out of the camp. Blind and helpless, he was actually fired upon by his own tribesmen, indicating the fanatical desperation of the people at the time.
His "courageous daughter" led him through a howling blizzard to his home in Pine Ridge.20 In telling this event, David H. Miller does not name the daughter, but since he does indicate elsewhere that Pete Richards was at the camp, Mrs. McGaa thinks it may have been Pete's wife, Suzannie. (Pete Richards was Mrs. McGaa's uncle.)
