According to a family story, Ethel John was an early homesteader near the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This was roughly 1910 and Ethel was only 16 or 17 years old. After Ethel had been there (on the homestead) for a while, she stepped out of her house one day and saw on the horizon a row of Indians on horseback. She stepped back into the house. When the Indians rode up and stopped in front of her place she came out, and they asked her of they could water their horses at her well. She, of course, said they could and went back inside. Several weeks later she went out and found the beaded moccasins by her door. They were just her size.  She figured they had measured her footprints in the dirt while they watered their horses.
