Hollow Horn Bear became something of a celebrity as his likeness appeared on the five dollar gold

eagle coin, and after his death on a U.S. Postage stamp. Brûlée Sioux, Horn Bear proved himself as a warrior, first fighting Pawnees, and later defending the Bozeman Trail from encroachers. His warriors defeated Lieutenant William Fetterman and also harassed Union Pacific work camps. However in the 1870s he became a Peace Chief. He attended two presidential inaugurations, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. He died after the inauguration of Presid
ent Wilson as he caught pneumonia.
