Amos Chapman known as Tam e yukh tah The Man With the Cut Off Leg dies near Seiling Oklahoma in 1924 He earned a Congressional Medal of Honor for the Buffalo Wallow fight of September 12 1871 His rescue by Billy Dixon after Chapman was wounded underscores frontier heroism alongside other noted scouts including Luther Yellowstone Kelly and Capt Luther North The piece memorializes multiple frontier figures and reframes Buffalo Bill as highly publicized rather than uniquely greatest.
