Indian Wars, western USA, HELP NEEDED

Legg inn av JD » 17 jan 2005 17:07:26

I've run across and interesting entry in an old diary from around 1899
- 1900 (not sure whose diary but maybe G'Gmom or one of her sisters)
indicating that there may have been a couple of female family members
takern in Indian raids in the period of after 1895. It looks as though
one or more didn't survive the event but that at least one did and was
returned after quite some time in captivity (possibly pregnant which
is what makes this all the more interesting genealogically). Rescue
was apparently by military troops. This would be in the Montana -
Idaho region.

My problem is that I haven't got a clue where to even start looking to
try to research this. Are there military (Army) records available from
those days? Newspapers from that long ago?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
