Having lived in the Dakota country since 1839, Galpin was married to a highly intelligent Hunkpapa-Two Kettle woman named "Eagle Woman That All Look At." Because her father and her brother were important Lakota chiefs, Mrs. Galpin wielded great influence among her people. Together, they would convince Blackfoot Sioux, Brulé, Hunkpapa, Miniconjou, Oglala, Sans Arc, Two Kettle, and Yanktonai chiefs to participate in peace talks at Fort Rice in the fall of 1865. Of these, only 17 chiefs and 40 headmen of the peace faction traveled through an October snowstorm with Galpin and Lt. Col. John Pattee, acting post www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2005/winter/galvanized.html |

Theophile Bruguir was a Frenchman -He married the daughter of War Eagle-his wife died, and he took for his second spouse another daughter of War Eagle-She, also, died before he did. These are the two daughters beside whom War Eagle is buried. The Muir and Blondeau children, and other half-breeds, were regarded with such kindly feelings by the Sacs and Foxes that when 1824 these tribes ceded to the United States a tract of land in the Northern part of Missouri, 119,000 acres in what is now Iowa were reserved for half-breeds. The area was termed the half-breed tract. It lay between the Des Moines and the Mississippi Rivers. So the funny little dip in the present state of Iowa, at the southeast corner, formerly was the Half-breed Tract. It gave rise to much disputing in the courts, and to a corresponding amount of trouble. iagenweb.org/history/moi/MOIChp15.htm |
