He did not fight in the battle, but watched from a distance, and was the first to report the defeat of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. Afterward a legend grew that he had been an active participant and managed to escape, leading to <a><\/a>conflicting accounts of Curly&#8217;s involvement in the historical record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashishishe was born in approximately 1856 in Montana Territory, the son of Strong Bear (Inside the Mouth) and Strikes By the Side of the Water. His name, variously rendered as Ashishishe, Shishi&#8217;esh, etc., has been said to literally mean &#8220;the crow&#8221;, however, this may be a misunderstanding as the Crow word for &#8220;crow&#8221; is &#8220;\u00e1alihte&#8221;. Ashishishe may be a transliteration of the word &#8220;sh\u00edsshia&#8221;, which means &#8220;curly&#8221;. His death record lists his name as being &#8220;Bull Half White (Curly)&#8221;. He resided on the Crow Reservation in the vicinity of Pryor Creek, and married Bird Woman. He enlisted in the U.S. Army as an Indian scout on April 10, 1876. He served with the 7th Cavalry Regiment under George Armstrong Custer, and was with them at the Battle of Little Bighorn in June of that year, along with five other Crow warrior\/scouts: White Man Runs Him, Goes Ahead, Hairy Moccasin, his cousin White Swan, and Half Yellow Face, the leader of the scouts. Custer had divided his force into four separate detachments, keeping a total of 210 men with him. Half Yellow Face and White Swan fought alongside the soldiers of Reno&#8217;s detachment, and White Swan was severely wounded. Curly, Hairy Moccasin, Goes Ahead and White Man Runs Him went with Custer&#8217;s detachment, but did not actively participate in the battle; they later reported they were ordered away before the intense fighting began. Curly separated from White Man Runs Him, Hairy Moccasin, and Goes Ahead, and he watched the battle between the Sioux\/Cheyenne forces and Custer&#8217;s detachment from a distance. Seeing the complete extermination of Custer&#8217;s detachment, he rode off to report the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day or two after the battle, Curly found the Far West, an army supply boat at the confluence of the Bighorn and Little Bighorn Rivers. He was the first to report the 7th&#8217;s defeat, using a combination of sign language, drawings, and an interpreter. Curly did not claim to have fought in the battle, but only to have witnessed it from a distance; since this first report was accurate,two of the most influential historians of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Walter Mason Camp (who interviewed Curly on several occasions) and John S. Gray, accepted Curly&#8217;s early account. Later, however, when accounts of &#8220;Custer&#8217;s Last Stand&#8221; began to circulate in the media, a legend grew that Curly had actively participated in the battle, but had managed to escape. Later on, Curly himself stopped denying the legend, and offered more elaborate accounts in which he fought with the 7th and had avoided death by disguising himself as a Lakota warrior, leading to conflicting accounts of his involvement. The family story is that he was involved, but when he saw Custer fall, he gutted open a horse and hid inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Crow Agency had been moved to its current site in 1884, Curly lived there, on the Crow Reservation on the bank of the Little Bighorn River, very close to the site of the battle. He served in the Crow Police. He divorced Bird Woman in 1886, and married Takes a Shield. Curly had one daughter, Awakuk Korita ha Sakush (&#8220;Bird of Another Year&#8221;), who took the English name Dora.[6] For his Army service, Curly received a U.S. pension as of 1920.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He died of pneumonia in 1923, and his remains were interred in the National Cemetery at the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, only a mile from his home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashishishe (c. 1856\u20131923), known as Curly (or Curley) and Bull Half White, was a Crow [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[51,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-plains","category-tributes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
