THUNDER ON THE PLAINS
THE BLACK HILL WARS 1876-1877
THE BATTLE OF THE ROSEBUD, 17th JUNE 1876
US ARMY FRONTIER SCOUTS
The role of the frontier scout was vital during the period of expansion between 1840 and 1890. These men possessed a priceless knowledge of the geography, people and characteristics of the great American hinterland. They were to have a larger influence on the pace of settlement and control of the American west than any other single factor.

MARIANO MEDINA
One of many army scouts of mixed racial origin, Jesus Garcia Mariano Medina, had French, Apache, and Spanish blood flowing through his veins. He was born in Taos, New Mexico in 1812 and his ability as a scout was realised whilst working with Kit Carson in 1842.
During the Mormon Rebellion of 1857-1858 he was also to prove valuable in accompanying a small command from Fort Bridger during the winter south to New Mexico for fresh supplies, horses and reinforcements. After a march of 51 days through harsh winter conditions, the column arrived at Fort Massachusetts in New Mexico. They were to return with supplies and reinforcements on June 9th 1858.
Medina was to die of natural causes in 1878, living out the rest of his life as a trader.
