    Bloody Knife
    Clenny Rhea would make a yearly trip to the Little Big Horn Battlefield monument. She said that her Uncle's name was inscribed on it. The only Indian names inscribed on the monument were guides used by Custer. In comparing the pictures of those scouts, only one even bears a passing family resemblance. James A Bridges and Michael L Bridges both could pass for brothers of Bloody Knife!

  • Notes 
    • Clenny O'Dell Rhea told the family that she had either a brother or uncle who was buried at the Battle of Little Big Horn. He was an Indian Scout for the US Army, his indian name is currently unknown.

      Here is the list of Indian Scouts listed on the monument:
      Lonesome Charley Reynolds, Chief Scout
      Isaiah Dorman, Negro-Indian Interpreter
      Indian Scouts
      Mitch Bouyer, half-breed
      Bloody Knife
      Bob-Tailed Bull
      Little Brave

      Another point of confusion: W.A. Graham names the Ree scouts killed at the Little Bighorn as Bloody Knife (a guide, actually), Bobtailed Bull and Stab, but Stab apparently didn't die in the battle. Hardorff and most recent writers name the third dead Ree scout as Little Brave, but the name Little Brave isn't even on Graham's list of Arikara scouts. You get the idea.

      Ree is apparently a shortened name for tha Arikara tribe.
