The Bear River Massacre
His parents are Sagwitch and Tan-tapai-cci
of the Northwestern Shoshone. Franks actual name was Pisappih Timbimboo and was
a two year old at the time of the Bear River Massacre on January 29, 1863. His
body was riddled with seven bullet wounds but yet he survived. A few years
later he was adopted by the Amos Warner family and renamed Frank W. Warner.
President John Taylor called him on a mission in 1880 to work among his own
people. He served a second mission in 1914-15 working among the Sioux and
Assiniboin Indians at Fort Peck, Montana.
