Louis Agard & wife

Louis Agard (1864-May 2, 1939) was called Chat, short for Čhatká, or Left-handed. He was the mixed blood son of Frenchman Louis Agard and full blood Lakota Mary Brocell. The father had been with the American Fur Company and was one of Custer’s interpreters on the 1874 expedition into the Black Hills. Chat married Mollie Pretty Woman, called in various records Monica, White Mouse, and Wiŋesteka (1867-1911), and the couple had around twelve children. Louis had settled into stock-raising and his son (called “senior,” as he too had a son named Louis) followed him in this pursuit. “They had a well built place on the river bottoms, just south of the big hill, and Louis (Chat) Agard, the senior, had a large number of horses. He branded LA on the left shoulder” (early settler Louis O. Huseboe in 1972, in Tidball, Taming the Plains, 512)."; Rights Info
