Fragmentary 19th Century Dakota Names and Eulogies
A garbled 19th century clipping lists multiple figures connected to Dakota history and events. It mentions Frederick LaBone, Quenel, Auel, and LaBone’s fatal blow on Quenel, followed by a strange sequence of names and ages including Ziebach, D. Reeves, Jack McCall, Thomas Bouck, Patrick Deley, Alexander Miller, Paul Murphy, Letcher, Niel McDonough, and a Deadwood municipal judge. It references an execution of Jack McCall in Deadwood in 1876 and various deaths and careers across Aberdeen, Sargeant’s Bluff, and Yankton.
