Using ArchiveGrid, I learned that Sitting Bull had many names. But regardless of which one he used, he first and foremost fought for the rights of Native Americans. His life was in danger many times but the fearless leader never gave up. He was humiliated by the U.S. forces by being made part of a Wild West Show. But died resisting the white man and stayed true to his tribal traditions.
Part 2: I searched my maiden name and came up with one match. The University of California in SanDiego has a record in the Registra's office detailing the Eggum name. When I searched my husband's last name I got 3 hits from Bundesarchiv, Cornell University, and University of California, Los Angeles.
I also looked for Augustana College, Sioux Falls, SD and found several (17) hits that featured articles by past registras and professors.
Is easy to use and navigate. Would be helpful for historians who are researching their institution or family history.
Hi, dlueb! I love how the notes on the Sitting Bull card gave you a full sense of the drama of his life! Your other searches and results are also interesing. This is for serious researchers, and you may have some on your campus. Thanks for your comments!
