Crawford ('Capt. Jack') New Year 1911".Known as the Poet Scout, John Wallace "Captain Jack" Crawford (1847-1917) was a civilian scout with the 5th Cavalry Regiment during the Great Sioux War of 1876. He joined Brig. General George Crook's command after Custer's defeat and death at Little Big Horn and served as war correspondent for the Omaha Bee. Routinely carrying dispatches along the highly perilous route of 400 miles to Fort Fetterman, he is remembered by his friend Buffalo Bill Cody for delivering not only a letter from General Sheridan but also a full bottle of whiskey. It was, however, his daring 350 mile ride to deliver news to the New York Herald of General George Crook's victory over Chief American Horse at the Battle of Slim Buttes that made him a national celebrity. Subsequently scouting in New Mexico, he then served as a special agent for the U.S. Justice Department for four years before taking to the lecture circuit, gaining in popularity as the "Poet Scout" entertaining audiences of thousands in music halls and on stages throughout the country.
