1.  When I searched for Sitting Bull on the Archive Grid, I learned that he was very opposed to the encroachment of the white men. He led the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors against U. S. soldiers in the battle of Little Bighorn.  Many people were killed in this battle.  He then moved his tribe to Canada where they resided until they surrendered to the U. S. forces.  He was part of the Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show, and died resisting arrest for doing the outlawed ritual Ghost Dance.

2.  I looked up "Carrington Civil War" since I know that I have a relative by that last name that was involved in the Civil War.  I don't remember what his first name was, so I thought I would take a shot with this general search.  I actually got 257 results with this search, which included several different Carringtons involved in the Civil War.  I looked at one of them that was about a William A. Carrington who was a medical officer in the Civil War.  The papers on him can be located through Duke University.  I am anxious to look at a book I have at home about our family history, and see what his first name actually was and if this might be the same ancestor in my family.
