Ischu Shi Dish (Half Yellow Face) ca. 1830-1879, was the leader of the six Crow Scouts for George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry during the 1876 campaign against the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne. When Custer made the fateful decision to attack a large Sioux-Cheyenne camp, Half Yellow Face said to Custer: "You and I are going home today by a road we do not know." By the morning of this date in 1876, his prophesy was true, at least for Custer, who was killed during the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Half Yellow Face survived the battle because he was assigned to fight with Major Marcus Reno's troops, rather than Custer's. During the battle he saved his friend White Swan, who had been severely wounded. Traditional Crow sources report Ischu Shi Dish was killed in 1879 on the Yellowstone River while pursuing a Sioux raiding party who had stolen Crow horses. He was survived by his wife, Can't Get Up, and three children. In the photo, Half Yellow Face may be the man wearing a cavalry coat, standing next to his horse.

It was quite a bit warmer. Variable winds, some tailwind heading back into town. Tomorrow is forecast about the same temperature as today in Santa Rosa, high 77F. The Giro Bello route goes down past Petaluma, where it's forecast cooler tomorrow, high 70F. It can be very hot in Sonoma County, so the forecasts sound good to me.
