Some information about Fool Bull from Claes H. Jacobson's book "Rosebud Sioux": Fool Bull was a medicine man among the Brule Sioux. In his youth he had taken part in the so-called Sioux Massacre of Pawnees in 1873. During the battle Fool Bull was injured after a boy had fired at him with a pistol - point blank. It knocked out his eyesight and it took several month before the powder burns healed. Fool Bull was also a participant in the battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. He had two wives, Red Crane and Getting Around. When he died on December 20, 1909 he was a widower. His sons were Richard b. 1887 and John b. 1889.”
