While reading The Dalles Weekly Chronicle dated back to January 9, 1891 there was an interesting article titled "Died Like the Brave Man He Was." This article was originally written in a newspaper in Leavenworth, Kansas. The article spoke about the death of Captain Wallace in Wounden Knee, SD. Captain Walles was injured by five Indians and then later died from the injuries. The most interesting thing about this article is that while dying Captain Wallace had killed each Indian.
January 9th,1891
While looking at the ads for clothing and shoes for my friend Madi's wedding in The Dalles Weekly Chronicle I came upon a heroic article. A brave Captain Wallace killed by five savage Indians at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. What made him brave that he killed the Indians while HE was dying! The title "Died Like the Brave Man He Was" did the late brave Captain Wallace, justice, because of men like him many of us are able to sleep at night.
It sounds like you found a really interesting article! It's awesomely horrible that he killed five people AS he was dying... yikes!
