3. He scented his hair (a source of pride for him) with cinnamon oil
4. Little Bighorn may not have been such a disaster had he not been betrayed, or left hung to dry, by his fellow commanders

12. He was gifted the surrender table from Appomatox Courthouse

How The Plains Indians Relied On The Entire Buffalo
1. Food
2. Lodging (their teepees made of hides)
3. Fuel-from dried dung
4. Tools (bone implements and water pouches made from the paunch)
5. Tack (bridles, thongs, and saddles made of hide)
6. Ropes- from twisted hair
7. Clothing (buckskins, moccasins, and fur robes)
8. Weapons (bowstrings made from sinews and clubs)
9. I also remember my Aunt Judy saying the kids probably used the eyeballs as marbles while we were visiting the Westward Expansion Museum under the Arch when I was little
10. The book I'm reading also talks about the Indians drinking the stomach contents of killed buffalo- that the curdled milk from a buffalo calf still nursing was an exceptional delicacy.
