of the battle appeared in McClure's magazine. After the battle with Custer, General Nelson A. Miles convinced Two Moons to
surrender. He later became a U.S. Army scout.
In this role, Two Moons conducted LITTLE CROW's Cheyenne band to Fort Keough. Two Moons later served as chief of the reservation
Northern Cheyenne and traveled to Washington, D.C., to advance their cause. He met with President Woodrow Wilson in 1914.
