But since his death occurred so soon afterwards, there is the possibility that there had not been enough time for him to have been sworn into any Civil War company to serve. While you are in the National Archives, ask about The Nemaha Half Breed Indian Reservation in southeastern Nebraska. All of the Faw-Faw children should have been eligible to receive land on it, because of their Otoe heritage. One Joseph Sharp (in the late 1850's?) compiled a roster of those names who should receive a share. While I was there forty years ago I hunted this up, so I know there are such records. You asked also about jobs Louis might have held with the Indian agency involved. I don't really know, but again those kind of records are kept in the National Archives, and I'm sure they can advise you what to do in order to see them.--Good luck.
