So he never became a dime novel hero, but the of the West, the men who know who were the really great and who were the pseudo-grea- t, will tell you that there never was a braver man on the frontier nor few who played a more Important role at a critical period In Its history than Dr. V. T. McGillycuddy, now a resident of Berkeley, Calif., and president of a public utilities company in San Francisco, but once an army surgeon with General Crooks expedition In the Sioux war of 1S76 and later Indian agent for about the wildest bunch of red men that the government ever tried to keep penned up on a reservation. Doctor McGillycuddy was born in Racine, Wis., In 1849, and at the age of sixteen began the study of medicine. After completing his course in four years he served as an interne in the United States Marine hospital In Detroit and later became assistant surgeon in several hospitals in that city. His early education had also Included a course in topographical engineering and the year 1875 found him getting his first experience in the Wild West as chief topographer for a government expedition Into the Black Hills of South Dakota. So among his other distinctions Doctor McGillycuddy can claim that of being one of the first, if not the very first, to make accurate maps of the region which is now so much In the public eye because President Coolidge chose it as the site for the Summer White nouse. The chief guide for this expedition was the renowned California Joe, General Custers famous scout, and Doctor McGillycuddy has a rich fund of reminiscences of this noted frontier character. In fact, he knew nearly all of the early Black Hills notables, and he can tell interesting tales of Calamity Jane, of Capt. Jack Crawford, the Poet Scout, and Frank Grouard, General Crooks favorite scout, of Buffalo Bill and his understudv, Buffalo Chip" White. After the Sioux campaign was over Doctor McGillycuddy was stationed at Camp Robinson, Neb., and there he made the acquaintance of Crazy Horse, one of the greatest war chiefs the Sioux had ever had. The army surgeon won the friendship of the Sioux leader by caring for his wife whs was a sufferer from tuberculosis and won for himself the name of Tasbunka Witko Kola (Crazy Horses Friend) and Wasechun Waukon (White Miracle Man) by which he became known among the Sioux later. In 1S79 President Hayes appointed the young army surgeon agent for the Ogalala Sioux on what is now the Pine Ridge reservation. Despite the recommendation that the name "Tashunka Witko Kola gave him, the new job was not an easy one. Here were several thousand Sioux, fresh from the warpath, still remembering their terrible triumph over Custer on the Little Big Horn, utterly irreconcilable to being penned up on a reservation they who from years immemorial had been lords of a vast region over which they roamed as they willed. Their great war chief was Red Cloud, who, although he had taken no active part In the campaign of '76, was an implacable enemy of the whites who had repeatedly broken faith with him. Both the youth of McGillycuddy and his recent connection with the army were against him in his dealings with the Oglalas and in the first general council Red Cloud made it plain that he would oppose every effort the new agent made to lead his young men in the white mans road. To this Doctor McGillycuddy replied that he admired Red Cloud for his loyalty to the old ideals, but that the white man had come to stay and if the red man expected to survive he must learn the white mans ways. He warned Red Cloud that if the older Indians resisted the agents efforts to lead them in the white mans road, he would appeal to the young men. And appeal to the joung men he did. The result was the j d long-haire- old-time- CORNS organization of an Indian police force, the first of its kind ever used on an Indian reservation, authorized by a special act of congress. The leader of this force was a young warrior named Miwaukon Yuha (Man Who Carries a Sword), or Captain Sword and with this little group of 50 men, the young agent undertook to keep order on a reservation of 4,000 square miles. Red Cloud continued to obstruct his work and finally in 1882 came the showdown. Doctor McGillycuddy deposed Red Cloud as chief. The Oglalas were in a turmoil. A plot to assassinate the agent was foiled by Captain Sword and his men, but affairs became so threatening that the War department began concentrating troops at the posts near by. If the Sioux Jumped the reservation It meant another costly war in which many lives would be lost and much property destroyed. It was a time when a cool head was needed and that cool head sat on the shoulders of Doctor McGillycuddy. We can handle the situation ourselves was the word that the young doctor sent to Washington. If troops are sent here, the Sioux will interpret it as a warlike gesture and trouble will be sure to follow. By we he meant himself and Captain Sword and those 50 Indian policemen I His faith was justified, for Swords men soon had the situation in hand and there is no doubt in the minds of those who knew the situation at the time and the temper of the Sioux that a bloody war was averted. Shortly before this time there occurred an incident which showed the aptness of that pure grit clean through characterization of Doctor McGillycuddy. At the time of the last great sun dance ever held among the Sioux some 2,000 of Chief Spotted Tails Brule Sioux, always a turbulent and restless outfit, came up to Pine Ridge to visit their Oglala brethren. One day a band of 400 of them rode over to the agency and ten of them, heavily armed, filed into McGillycuddys office. In the building at the time were Doctor McGillycuddy, a clerk, Louis Changro, his interpreter, three army officers, who had come to see the sun dance, and two visiting cattlemen. There were only eleven white persons on the reservation. After a silence of several minutes, the leader of the party, a tall, powerful young chief, said to Changro, Tell him we want food. McGillycuddys reply was that be knew the Brules were well provisioned before they left their reservation and that they would get no food from him. At that reply the young chiefs eye glittered angrily. Tell him we want food NOW! he growled. A smile flickered across the young doctors face. Just tell him to go to h 1, Louis I he said quietly. Instantly the Brule chief sprang across the room and, shaking his (1st in the agents face, he shouted hoarsely, If you dont give us food now. Ill kill every white man on the reservation I The smile disappeared from McGillycuddys face. His jaw snapped shut and without a word he sprang on the Indian, seized him by the throat and shook him until his rifle clattered to the floor. Then he rushed the Indian to the door, whirled him around and kicked the worst insult that any white man ever gave an Indian. Ten feet from the door the Brule picked himself up from the dust and, wild with rage, led his followers on a mad gallop to the Brule camp. But the whites knew that they would be back and that nine white men would probably soon be fighting for their lives and the lives of Mrs. McGillycuddy and the post traders wife against net only 2,000 Brules. but probably against several thousand Oglalas who would likely come swarming like a wolf pack to the kill. One alarming fact was that at the appearance of the Brules Captain Sword and his men had disappeared! Soon the white men heard the drumming of pony hoofs on the dry prairie and a warriors swept out party of naked, of a little coulee and headed for the agency building. As the white men crouched down behind the flimsy barrier of the fence surrounding the agency and lined their guns on the approaching throng Changro suddenly shouted : No shoot ! Sword, he come It was Captain Sword and his policemen, clad In the battle dress of their ancestors, coming to the aid of their white chief and ready to die in his defense. And then the Brules came back, 400 of them, a howling pack of savages pounding their ponies Into a mad charge. In the face of this onrush McGillycuddy said quietly to his white companions and Sword's men, who had lined up beside him, Dont fire until I give the word! On and on came the Indians until it seemed that they d 1 would ride the little group of defenders into thi earth. And then they stopped ! The steady contro of the agent broke through the heai of their madness and brought them to a sliding halt 50 yards away. There the? milled around uncertainly. At the psychological moment, McGillycuddy took the offensive. H turned to Changro. Hop out there, Louis, and tell that old devil to chase himself back to camp iron-nerve- d dust-plowin- g he said. Tell him Til give him Just five minute to get under way and, whats more, if he eve bats his eye at me again, Ill choke him to death Just for luck. As Changro ran forward to delivei this message the agent sprang to the top of the fence, watch in hand, to show the Brules that he meant exactly what he said. For a moment they wavered. The chief, still hot for blood, insisted that they charge. But the cool nerve of this slen der young doctor who had showed them so plainly that he could not be bluffed or frightened even in the face of overwhelming odds was too much for them. They rode back to their camp forthwith During the next few years the Oglalas pros pered under McGillycuddys rule. Then in 188? politics, which has so often made a football ol the Indian, got in its work and the agent was summoned to Washington for trial on trumped up charges of insubordination and exceeding his authority. The trial was something of a farce, but the upshot was that he was relieved from duty Not long afterward the ghost dance craze swept the Sioux and then, if ever, was the firm hand ol McGillycuddy needed. But It was not there and as a result a majority of the Oglalas stampeded to the Bad Lands and the terrible story of the Battle of Wounded Knee was added to our Indian history. The former Indian agent gave valuable service during those trying days as assistant adjutant general to the governor of South Dakota, but a short-sighte-d government policy prevented him from serving where his Influence over the Sioux would have counted most If he was ever rewarded by the government in the slightest measure for the incalculable worth of his services there Is no record of It. Later he became dean and president of the South Dakota School ol Mines at Rapid City, and as an educator became widely known. But except to a few historians the name of this man, but for whose efforts the settlement of a vast empire might have been delayed indefinitely. Is comparatively unknown. A Forgotten Wild West Hero? Not exactly! Talk to some of the old Oglalas today, as the writer did recently, and you will find that the name of McGillycuddy Is magic among them still. McGillycuddy Kola (friend of McGillycuddy), I Waste! (good!) he exsaid to one of them. claimed and that phrase was the open sesame for the subsequent Interview with several of them. Through an interpreter, Jim Grass, an educated Sioux, I talked with Rock, Spider, Little Hawk. Brave Heart, Yellow Thunder, and Chase in the who remember the Morning, all of them days of the buffalo chase and the tribal wars. Rock, Spider and Chase in the Morning fought under Crazy norse in the Custer battle and at the Battle of the Rosebud where the Oglala chieftain fought General Crook to a standstill. After the wars were over Rock became one of McGillycuddys Indian policemen on the Pine Ridge reservation and from him I learned much of those stirring times when the young agent was gambling with death as he tried to break down the reactionary influence of Red Cloud among the Oglalas. Rock and some of the old fellows questioned me eagerly about their friend Wasechun Waukon (Doctor McGillycuddy) where he lived and what he was doing. They requested me to write to him and ask him to write to them. It was plain to see that after all, these years they still love and honor the one Indian agent whom they learned to trust and respect. He was a brave and good man and the best friend we have ever had, Rock told me, and his face lighted up as he spoke of the old days when he was one of McGillycuddys policemen. Then it saddened as he continued, If he had been with us the great sadness (the ghost dance trouble and the Wounded Knee affair) would not have come to our people." Forgotten? Not by the men who did not give e their friendship lightly aud when an Sioux warrior utters the simple words, He was a brave and good man," Its about as fine a tribute as could be paid to this real Wild West hero.
