Little Rock, a Cheyenne chief of some prominence during the years immediately following the Civil war, belonged to Black Kettle's band, which caused so much trouble on the western frontier in the latter '60s. He took part in the conference at Fort Larned, Kan., Aug. 16, 1868, and almost immediately afterward joined the hostiles of his tribe. When Black Kettle was killed in the battle on the Washita, Nov. 27, 1868, Little Rock assumed command and was soon afterward killed by a detachment of Custer's force under command of Maj. J. H. Elliott. His daughter, Mo-nah-se-tah, and two other squaws were carried as captives by Gen. Custer to assist in communicating with the Indians.
