he came galloping around the camp trying to find 

 them. Later Colonel Pickett purchased another horse 

 that he named Red. This horse's sight became slight-

34. Tendoy was the chief of a band of Bannocks 

 and Shoshonis and Sheepeaters. They used to live 

 in the Upper Lemhi and Birch Creek country of 

 Western Montana. Tendoy was a fine Indian; had 

 always been friendly to the whites, and it was said 

 had received a special pension, by Act of Congress, 

 in acknowledgment of his services and influence in 

 keeping his people from taking sides during the Nez 

 Perce war, for the Nez Perces did everything they 

 could to induce the Lemhis to join them. Tendoy 

 was a high-class man, frank, intelligent and witty, 

 with a natural dignity that was very impressive. He 

 died early in 1907, aged eighty-three. Even when he 

 was eighty years old his natural force was not abated, 

 and De Cost Smith, who knew him well, tells of his 

 riding, at that age, a bucking horse, which threw him 

 once, but the old man rose to his feet, remounted and 

 rode the horse. No one was present at the time, save 

 Mr. Smith, but that night Tendoy told his fellows of 

 the incident and laughed with them about it. 



After Tendoy's death, the settlers of Idaho, in 

 recognition of his services, subscribed funds toward 

 the erection of a monument to his memory.
