Tall Tale or Truth?
In my family we have a legend about an ancestor named either John or Jack Thompson. He supposedly helped to bury Custer's men after the battle of Little Bighorn in Montana. He also was suppose to have rescued a white child from a flour barrel after an Indian massacre along the Oregon Trail and kept the boy as his own. He may have also been an outlaw wanted in the South for killing his wife and her lover. There is suppose to be a book written about him that I have yet to locate named "White Horse Jack." Has anyone come across this before and if so, where? I would greatly appreciate any help at all. Thank you.
