***FUN FACT: Satanta was the inspiration for the character “Blue Duck” in the TV series “Lonesome Dove”.****
There was a Cherokee named Blue Duck who took up with Belle Starr of Oklahoma.

Belle Starr was uglier than a mud fence, it seems.
Rather than face life in prison, Satanta committed suicide by jumping out a window at the Walls Unit in Huntsville.
Legend says his spirit still haunts the grounds of the Walls Unit.
