For she was one of two Kansas girls kidnaped by Cheyenne Indians in | 1868, and rescued nearly two years later. | | When Mrs. Brooks, then Miss Sarah | | White, was 18 years old when she and a | companion, Mrs. James Morgan, who was | about the same age, were captured and carried into the old Indian Territory. | General George A. Custer with his | Seventh Cavalry set out to rescue the cap- tives, and found the Indians’ eamp on the | Washita river, but the redskins had moved. | on, and they eluded their pursuers for, months. Feeling against the Indians ran high in Kansas, and Governor Crawford ob- tained authority from the government to raise a regiment of volunteer cavalry. He resigned as governor to become colonel of the regiment, and jeined Custer in the campaign. Finally the Cheyennes were sur- rounded and Custer took some chiefs as prisoners, holding them as hostages until the girls were safély returned.
