This Cheyenne war chief was a contemporary of Dull Knife. Roman Nose was not so strong a character as the other, and was inclined to be pompous and boastful; but with all this he was a true type of native American in spirit and bravery.
While Dull Knife was noted in warfare among Indians, Roman Nose made his record against the whites, in defense of territory embracing the Republican and Arickaree rivers.
Roman Nose was killed on the latter river in 1868, in the celebrated battle with General Forsythe.
