Hi,
My name is Kimberly (Rooks) Crawford, my great-grandfather was a Joseph Rooks that came from Missouri after the Civil War and ran mail between the Dakota's and Wyoming.He was adopted into the Sioux Tribe by Chief Red Cloud and married a woman from the Crazy Horse band.Chief Red Cloud gave him some land in an area called "Red Stone Basin" which is located close to the badlands and a town called Kadoka which he founded.He also founded the first masonic lodge there.Any information you have would be helpful.My email address is: [email protected]
