    What did he steal? His stats indicate that he would not have a need to steal. Two years would indicate that it was a petty crime. Though formally uneducated it would seem that he would not risk jail time for petty larceny when he was a man of substance with a young family. Hmmmm Puzzling.

      I am not sure why, There were no prison records found all I found was his photo and little of his crime and sentence

    Hello, Charles Blue Arm is my great, great grandfather. He was a survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre. It says here that he died in 1911. However, I don't think you have the right Charles Blue Arm.

    This is Charles Arm, not Charles Blue Arm. Charles Blue Arm died in the 1940's . He never went to jail.

      Agreed. Charles Blue Arm's sister was Jennie On the Lead, my 2nd great-grandma. Hit me up at lc4468 AT Outlook DOT com. ;-)
