| Klenke | Marias Massacre | |
Hasn't voted | Your opening paragraph piqued my interest so I read up a bit on the massacre. This Eugene Baker wasn't the best fellow. This Wiki Page says he was a known alcoholic. He apparently attacked Heavy Runner's camp even though he was told he had the wrong camp. Also, the wiki page says Baker was a major. The man isn't worth the promotion to colonel in your writing. I think at the very least you should link to the wiki page. At most you could paraphrase it in your Overview. | |

Hasn't voted | I got my information from a page linked from the park service on names in Glacier. I will take a look at your link and make changes. Edit: Have changed site to reflect newly gathered information. | |

Hasn't voted | Sometimes references to rank are made for the rank when an officer or soldier retired. Baker may have been a colonel at his retirement but a major during the massacre. | |
