I was born Nov 25th 1858 after my mother a young Kiowa woman was rapped by a white man this made it very hard for me to fit in with people the one who had hurt my mother was one of the Murphy and Dolan boys. when I was 7 years old my tribe was sent to live on the Red Sands Reservation I cried for eight weeks. But one day I was walking around looking the reservation over since this was going to be my new home then I accidently bumped into a another young part Indian like was but he was from a different tribe. his name was Chavez we became very close friends that day. I lost half of my family to yellow fever and the rest of my family was killed by the army and Murphy and Dolan it hurt but it really hurt me when they killed my mother Morning Star. Chavez went to live with John Tunstall and I joined the pony express and I now work for Teaspoon Hunter and I made some new friends this is where I met Ike Mcswain he lost his hair and his voice from scarlet fever he is like a little brother to me and I will not let anything happen to him. and last night I ran into my friend Chavez in town we are still close friends and that won't change.
