The Native Woman Who Became A Chief — The Forgotten Story Of Woman Chief, The Warrior Who Led The Crow
Beckwourth: Mountaineer, Scout, and Pioneer, and Chief of the Crow Nation of Indians.
In Beckwourth’s memoir, there is an extensive and dramatic account of a Crow warrior woman he calls Pine Leaf — in Crow, Barcheeampe.
Pine Leaf appears as a formidable fighter, a loyal companion of Beckwourth himself, and an eventually significant figure in Crow military life.
The autobiography gives Pine Leaf a dramatic origin story and a personality drawn in vivid strokes.
Most historians who have examined both accounts believe that Pine Leaf and Woman Chief are the same person, or at least that Beckwourth’s Pine Leaf is substantially based on the historical figure of Woman Chief.
