!NAME: "There are many versions of the Battle of Sugar Point - the last Indian
battle in the United States (1898). The following was written by William J.
Morrell ... one of the several Indian Policemen that were with the soldiers
took a canoe and started out across the lake toward Bear Island, and just as
soon as the soldiers saw him, they thought it was one of their combatants so
they took a shot at him and hit him through the back. This Indian Policeman
was Gay-gway-dah-be-tung (George Russell) and that was the only Indian that
was killed in this battle." [V.R. #178] [translation after Virginia
Rogers]
