Original Post

Enerplus Resources has a well pad in the Spotted Horn oil field with some interesting well names.

I've always assumed Spotted Horn was named after Chief Spotted Horn of the Assiniboine mentioned in the journal of Rudolph Friedrich Kurz, 1851 - 1852. Families names and genealogy of native Americans have always been a challenge for me, and if I do not read of their history on a regular basis, I forget the history.

Be that as it may, as I was saying has interesting names for four new wells in Spotted Horn oil field:

By the way, there was a "Mrs Spotted Horn Bull," a Hunkpapa Sioux who provided a fascinating oral history of that fateful day in June, 1876.
