General Fosch of France was another of the Allied Forces in WWI who considered Plenty Coups his friend and equal as a world leader. http://www.nezperce.com/pcmain.html |

His name was Aleek-chea-áhoosh which means "Many Achievements". In his early youth he was known as Swift Arrow. Plenty Coups gained his name through nearly 80 exploits of bravery. At 25, Plenty Coup became chief of the Mountain Crow. He was the head of the scouts for George Crook as Crook was making his way to meet Custer. On the Rosebud River in Montana , Plenty Coups and his indian scouts saved George Crook from a Custer fate. The military unit, however, had to turn back. Plenty Coups took up and became a successful farmer and rancher, urged his tribal members to join the armed forces during World War I, and because he had no children, deeded his home and 40 acres to the government as a reminder of the friendship between the Crows and the whites. |
