QPQ: 
- not done
Overall: 
Article looks mostly good; however, the sentence From September 1856 through May 1857, while serving at Fort Pierre, he met and, by Sioux tribal custom, married a young French-Yankton girl of the Yankton Sioux tribe.
needs to have a direct citation as its the DYK hook. Also, do you think you could provide for me a quote for what part of the book verifies it? (seems I've missed it) – a QPQ also needs to be done. When approved, my preference is for ALT0. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:26, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I added Deloria pp 29-30 for that line and it is also referenced in the descendant section with mention of his wife and daughter (ref to Deloria page 35)
