~~captain jack~~ [The only previous edit (16:04, 2005 May 12 205.217.85.209) struck thru. --Jerzy·t 2005 July 7 17:23 (UTC)]

I left in place the contradiction i found there:

Re the quasi-ambush of the commission, it says

commission numbered two (hence Canby as chair and one more)

Re the hangings, it says

Canby and commissioners (in plural), hence at least three.

Any truth to the Captain Jack's brain rumor?

I attended Cornell University, which is known for its collection of famous 19th-century brains. Was Captain Jack's brain, as has been alluded to in the Cornell Daily Sun and other such Cornell-related publications, taken to Cornell for study after his execution?

http://www.indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096411456 August 25, 2005 by: Suzan Shown Harjo / Indian Country Today The Smithsonian's 4,500 Indian heads came from the U.S. Army Surgeon General's Indian Crania Study of the late 1800s. Specimens for that study were sought jointly by the Army Medical Museum and the Smithsonian, which even advertised in newspapers for readers to harvest Indian skulls and paid bounties for the dead. Indians were decapitated at massacre and battle sites, at forts and prisons. Indian bodies were exhumed from burial grounds, scaffolds and caves. One of the collected heads was that of Kintpuash, the Modoc leader known as Captain Jack, whose head was severed after he was hanged by the Army in 1873. His descendants learned that his skull was on the desk of a Smithsonian scientist, being used variously as a paperweight or ashtray. The scientist obviously had concluded his study, and Kintpuash's relatives took him home in 1984. [User: Doctorleelee] 18:25, 23 Feb. 2006

Move to "Captain Jack"?

If Kintpuash is better known as Captain Jack, then why is this article at Kintpuash, and not Captain Jack (Native American), from which it is redirected? Should it be moved? Äþelwulf Talk to me. 17:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
