John Dunbar was born in 1828, and he served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, serving under General Donald Tide in the Western Theater. He was wounded in the foot at the Battle of Stones River, and he grew depressed upon realizing that the surgeons intended to amputate his foot. Dunbar decided to leave the hospital and, after the sha...
In spite of the macabre intent of his ride across St. David's Field, Dunbar was hailed as a "living hero" for his supposed bravery, and he was rewarded with a posting of his choosing. Dunbar requested a transfer to the American West so that he could see the frontier before it disappeared, and he was transferred to Fort Hays in Kansas, which was com...
When the men reached Fort Sedgwick, they found it to be a deserted outpost of just two huts. Timmons decided that they should turn around, but Dunbar insisted that Timmons help him unpack his supplies, as he firmly stated that the fort was his post. Timmons argued with Dunbar until Dunbar cocked his revolver at him and forced him to stick to the pl...
Over the next month, Dunbar found no sign of Captain Cargill's command, but, as it would take deserting his post in order to communicate with Fort Hays, Dunbar decided to remain by himself at the fort. He also decided that, while his supplies were plentiful, he would ration his supplies as if he was part of a garrison rather than the whole affair. ...
Dunbar proceeded to polish his uniform and ride out to meet the Indians, deducing that he appeared to the natives as a target, and that appearing to be a target was a poor first impression. Along the way, he found a woman mutilating herself with a knife, and he gently attempted to calm her down, knocking the knife from her hand. She attempted to st...
Shortly after, Dunbar was invited to the Lakota village, where Kicking Bird shared a pipe with him, and introduced him to Stands with a Fist, whom Kicking Bird had repeatedly attempted to convince to relearn her native language of English and serve as a translator. She nervously sputtered, "Hello...you here...good," and Dunbar smiled, nodded, and r...
That same night, Dunbar was asked to accompany the Lakota war party against the Pawnee, and, while Dunbar was reluctant, he could not bring himself to say no, as the Lakota were his friends, and the Pawnee had been hard on the Lakota. Kicking Bird and Stands with a Fist then entered Dunbar's tent, and Kicking Bird asked why Dunbar wanted to join th...
Their love was interrupted by the chattering of people in other tents, and, when Dunbar got dressed and went into the main tent, Stands with a Fist told him that the Pawnee were coming with a party of 40-50 men. The leaders of the tribe were panicked until Dunbar said that he had guns at the fort; while Chief Ten Bears said that they could not spar...
Not long after, Black Shawlpersuaded her husband Kicking Bird to allow Stands with a Fist to end her mourning, and Kicking Bird agreed to let Dunbar marry her after hearing that everyone in the tribe supported the match. Wind in His Hair served as a "best man" of sorts, getting Dunbar ready for the wedding, and confiding in him that Stands with a F...
Some time later, Dunbar and Kicking Bird sat down for a deep conversation, as Dunbar told Kicking Bird that he always asked about the white people and how many more of them were coming. For the first time, Dunbar admitted that there would be many white people, more than could be counted. In English, Kicking Bird asked, "How many?", and Dunbar respo...
