Running Wolf(d. circa 1872)-A Lakota Sioux war chief well known for a number of daring exploits, and his position as a primary strategist for the Indian Confederation's military forces, as well as his key role in Black Hawk's War(1832-36). His date of birth and original name is unknown, but he is genuinely believed to have been born sometime around 1795, given that, in his spoken memoirs to Francis Dezotell in 1862, he indicated that he was about 19 years old when he broke out of the local jail in Walkersville, Hamilton in July 1814....
His career as a warrior is said to have started in August 1814, when he first received his honorific title, and his first significant role of note was a chance skirmish with U.S. Troops under Gen. Thomas Flournoy near what became Corn Creek, Iowa, in 1819.....
