DEDICATION


This blog is dedicated to the memory of my late wife, Johanna L. Hardesty, who passed away unexpectedly on 2 April 2022. She was not only my constant companion, but my research partner as well. She was, among other things, a superb researcher. This blog would not exist without her invaluable input.

Charles Edward Conrad, Jr -- the half-blood prince

Spotted Capʼs first-born son has been given short shrift in the family history. He's been falsely portrayed as a drunken ne'er-do-well, but the truth is far from that. The son of a Kainai lass by the name of Kaiyis and Charles, Sr., his step-mother did not accept him and did what ever she could to undermine him, especially after his father's death. That whole story will be written in time, but until then, I offer this review of his life through the places where he lived. It is rather long, so I offer a link to a PDF rather than post it directly.
