Excerpt from Last of Army's Rank and File Whose Blood Drenched Kansas Soil
While to Papier and Theims belongs the distinc tion of being the last of the rank and file to lose their lives in combat with hostile Indians on Kansas soil, a similar distinction belongs, for the commissioned ranks, to Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Lewis, Nineteenth Infantry.1 This officer was wounded at Punished Woman's Fork, Kansas, on the evening of Septem ber 27, 1878, in an attempt to overtake the fleeing Cheyennes across the plains and died the following day. This was the last effort of the hostiles to raid the settlements and closes the Indian wars within the history of the state.
