1877 : Crazy Horse fights last battle On this day in 1877, Crazy Horse and his warriors--outnumbered, low on ammunition and forced to use outdated weapons to defend themselves--fight their final losing battle against the U.S. Cavalry in Montana. Six months earlier, in the Battle of Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse and his ally, Chief Sitting Bull, led their combined forces of Sioux and Cheyenne to a stunning victory over Lieutenant Colonel George Custer (1839-76) and his men. The Indians were resisting the U.S. government's efforts to force them back to their reservations. After Custer and over 200 of his soldiers were killed in the conflict, later dubbed "Custer's Last Stand," the American public wanted revenge. As a result, the U.S. Army launched a winter campaign in 1876-77, led by General Nelson Miles (1839-1925), against the remaining hostile Indians on the Northern Plains. Combining military force with diplomatic overtures, Nelson convinced many Indians to surrender and return to their reservations. Much to Nelson's frustration, though, Sitting Bull refused to give in and fled across the border to Canada, where he and his people remained for four years before finally returning to the U.S. to surrender in 1881. Sitting Bull died in 1890. Meanwhile, Crazy Horse and his band also refused to surrender, even though they were suffering from illness and starvation. On January 8, 1877, General Miles found Crazy Horse's camp along Montana's Tongue River. U.S. soldiers opened fire with their big wagon-mounted guns, driving the Indians from their warm tents out into a raging blizzard. Crazy Horse and his warriors managed to regroup on a ridge and return fire, but most of their ammunition was gone, and they were reduced to fighting with bows and arrows. They managed to hold off the soldiers long enough for the women and children to escape under cover of the blinding blizzard before they turned to follow them. Though he had escaped decisive defeat, Crazy Horse realized that Miles and his well-equipped cavalry troops would eventually hunt down and destroy his cold, hungry followers. On May 6, 1877, Crazy Horse led approximately 1,100 Indians to the Red Cloud reservation near Nebraska's Fort Robinson and surrendered. Five months later, a guard fatally stabbed him after he allegedly resisted imprisonment by Indian policemen. In 1948, American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski began work on the Crazy Horse Memorial, a massive monument carved into a mountain in South Dakota. Still a work in progress, the monument will stand 641 feet high and 563 feet long when completed.

The Sons of the American Revolution do not require as definitive documentation / proof as the Daughters of the American Revolution does.  The SAR may have a valid hint, but one should always redo the research to prove it correct. When I did my DAR application, I used some of my Puerto Rican cousins applications as the basis of my search, but I had to reprove everything from the very beginning.  It was a challenge, but rather satisfying to find out more.  I went in under one of the Scribner ancestors.  I had trouble finding some of the original records, but was very lucky that at two successive genealogical conferences, I had the opportunity to sit by and have extentive conversations with Josh Taylor -- he gave me clues to follow at the first conference, and at the 2nd one I was able to tell him I found the records and was able to submit my application.   Now I'm working on additional applications for the Livingston, Burch, Ladd, Daniels lines.  So far, I don't have any valid Bunker leads, as I don't know Benjamin's parentage.   On Tuesday, January 6, 2015 2:48 PM, Bette Bunker Richards via <[email protected]> wrote: Be careful about what you see online.  I just saw an application for membership in Sons of the Revolution where the applicant stated he was the great-grandson of Peter Bunker and Peggy and that Peter Bunker of Charlestown was present at the Battle of Bunker Hill and siege of Boston.

1853 : SOUTHERN U.S. BORDER ESTABLISHED James Gadsden, the U.S. minister to Mexico, and General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the president of Mexico, sign the Gadsden Purchase in Mexico City. The treaty settled the dispute over the location of the Mexican border west of El Paso, Texas, and established the final boundaries of the southern United States. For the price of $15 million, later reduced to $10 million, the United States acquired approximately 30,000 square miles of land in what is now southern New Mexico and Arizona. Jefferson Davis, the U.S. secretary of war under President Franklin Pierce, had sent Gadsden to negotiate with Santa Anna for the land, which was deemed by a group of political and industrial leaders to be a highly strategic location for the construction of the southern transcontinental railroad. In 1861, the "big four" leaders of western railroad construction--Collis P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker--established the Southern Pacific branch of the Central Pacific Railroad. 1916 : RASPUTIN MURDERED Grigory Rasputin, a self-fashioned Russian holy man, is murdered by Russian nobles eager to end his sway over the royal family. Rasputin won the favor of Czar Nicholas II and Czarina Alexandra through his ability to stop the bleeding of their hemophiliac son, Alexei. Although the Siberian-born peasant was widely criticized for his lechery and drunkenness, he exerted a powerful influence on the ruling family of Russia. He particularly influenced the czarina, and when Nicholas departed to lead Russian forces in World War I, Rasputin effectively ruled Russia through her In the early hours of December 30, 1916, a group of nobles lured Rasputin to Yusupovsky Palace, where they attempted to poison him. Seemingly unaffected by the large doses of poison placed in his wine and food, he was finally shot at close range and collapsed. A minute later he rose, beat one of his assailants, and attempted to escape from the palace grounds, where he was shot again. Rasputin, still alive, was then bound and tossed into a freezing river. A few months later, the imperial regime was overthrown by the Russian Revolution. 1922 – U.S.S.R. ESTABLISHED In post-revolutionary Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is established, comprising a confederation of Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, and the Transcaucasian Federation (divided in 1936 into the Georgian, Azerbaijan, and Armenian republics). Also known as the Soviet Union, the new communist state was the successor to the Russian Empire and the first country in the world to be based on Marxist socialism. During the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent three-year Russian Civil War, the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin dominated the soviet forces, a coalition of workers' and soldiers' committees that called for the establishment of a socialist state in the former Russian Empire. In the USSR all levels of government were controlled by the Communist Party, and the party's politburo, with its increasingly powerful general secretary, effectively ruled the country. Soviet industry was owned and managed by the state, and agricultural land was divided into state-run collective farms. In the decades after it was established, the Russian-dominated Soviet Union grew into one of the world's most powerful and influential states and eventually encompassed 15 republics--Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. In 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved following the collapse of its communist government.

I will be with my immediate family tomorrow. Today Today, I'm with all the the other Bunkers that I am related to by blood when I send a message this way on the internet. My very best wishes to all of you. I wish I could get together with you in person. Happy holidays. MaryGene

Thank you, Doug! I hope the holidays will be good to you and all of our cousins.

Bunker is a unique book. It has information in there that is not published elsewhere. It shows Bunker residency in various parts of England starting with London 1250 up to the 1500s. There are maps, transcriptions of wills, parish census numbers, stories about some Bunkers and historical references. It was written before we did the DNA testing when we still believed that all the American Bunkers were related and it refers to the legend that Bunkers were Huguenots (not true) but is otherwise an excellent reference. Most of the information can be found on line now but you have to look a bit to find it. It is most convenient to have it handy when you have questions about our history. I use it all the time even though I have 3 GBs of Bunker data on my computer, two bookcases full of books and 6 filing cabinets. It is such a handy thing to have. Gil still has some copies for sale. Why didn t I think of this a month ago?
