The story of Chief Nicolai was best told in this historic novel, "Legacy of the Chief," by Ronald N. Simpson. 

Although long out of print, copies can still be had at Amazon dot com. Also, the author sometimes has copies available at the bar for sale that he will autograph for you. Original printing shipping date for the first edition was Sept 11, 2001.
