This Custer battlefield warrior’s specialty was raiding enemy camps and stealing horses. As a model for Sharp, he once saw his portrait hanging on the artist’s studio wall and asked for five dollars. When Sharp asked him why he wanted five dollars, the Indian scout replied that he could not sleep, and it was Sharp’s fault. He said, “You painted me with my eyes open, how do you expect me to sleep with my eyes open?”
