Buffalo Calf Road Woman

150 years ago today, the Cheyenne and Lakota handed the U.S. Army its worst defeat on the northern plains. Buffalo Calf Road Woman was there — at the Rosebud nine days earlier, riding into the firefight to pull her wounded brother out alive, and at the Greasy Grass on June 25, 1876, where she unhorsed Custer. The Cheyenne called the Rosebud the Battle Where the Girl Saved Her Brother. She deserves her name on the wall.
