'''Henry "Texas Hank" Wormwood''', ?former mountain man?, scout for Crook (1876), Miles City [[town marshall]]. [[File:HankWormwood.jpg|thumb|right|400px|This is said to be a photo of Hank, but is not yet confirmed.]] C. N. Strevell wrote this about Hank: "...Hank Wormwood who posed as being a real tough, with long curls tied at the back of neck with a wide blue ribbon such as girls wore. Hank's principal act was parading up and down the street and loafing in the saloons. I never heard of him being involved in any real trouble -- just posing as a bad man." In September 1877 a Battalion of the Second Cavalry had moved out of Tongue River Cantonment to scout the country going towards the Black Hills for a new improved road. At the same time a pack train travel party was coming the other way from Deadwood. Members in the group included several destined for notoriety or fame - including the Reece brothers (Bill & Frank), Ranger Hank Wormwood, Morgan Earp, Fitzsimmons, John McCormick, a few of their gals, and two other men. They arrived at Milestown in early October. [[File:WormwoodProvesHisMettle.jpg|thumb|left|900px|March-April, 1960 True West magazine.]]
