Grewsome Indian Charm from the Cheyennes and War Legend
A National Museum necklace detailed as a brutal Cheyenne war relic features a buckskin cord with twelve preserved human fingers and medicine bags of human skin. Collected after General Crook’s 1876 campaign by Big Bat, it was given to Colonel Burke and then to a National museum, its history tied to Cheyenne wars and miraculous powers. A second note tells of a Kentucky farmer who, after walking hundreds of miles to see Senator Carlisle, observed that Carlisle “reads a heap better’n he looks.”
