The following is from my continuing study of two distant Robidoux cousins:
LOUIS ROUBIDEAUX (1847-1914), half Sioux and half French, US Army Indian Scout, Rosebud Reservation Police Captain, and US Government Interpreter.
AND, his brother
CHARLES ROUBIDEAUX (1854-1931), half Sioux and half French, US Army Indian Scout.

| Camp Robinson, Nebraska 1877 |
Both brothers were stationed at Camp Robinson, Nebraska, in 1877-1878.
They both served in the US Army, as INDIAN SCOUTS (USS), under General Crook during the time period known as the Great Sioux War of 1876 (aka the Black Hills War) which was a series of battles and negotiations that occurred between 1876 and 1877 involving the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and the United States.
The cause of the war was the desire of the U.S. government to obtain ownership of the Black Hills, Dakota Territory.
THE DEATH OF CRAZY HORSE
Charles Roubideaux was standing next to Crazy Horse when he was killed on September 5, 1877.
To learn more about events at Fort Robinson in the late 1870s, and the death of Chief Crazy Horse I recommend reading, “The Death of Crazy Horse : A Tragic Episode in Lakota History,” by Richard Hardoff.
