I have a copy of a letter dated 1890, which tell of the arrest of Low Dog for supposedly trying to kidnap the young son of Big Foot, he did not want to attend school apparently, { some other notes hint that the two men may have been related,} as a result, he was subsequently and imprisioned at Fort Snelling. However, on the strength of a letter from the local Indian agent, he was released a few months later and escorted back to Cherry Creek where, and here I quote the letter, "he was to be returned to his own people.''

As you probably know, Cherry Creek was on the Cheyenne River agency. Richard Hardorff mentions him in several of his books, but in two of them, he talks of him living and dying at Cherry Creek, but frustratingly, gives two very different years for his death, off the top of my head they were 1896 and 1910, quite a difference i think you'll agree.
