What did women use to paint their legs to make them look like nylons?
Nylon stockings were a luxury item during WWII and as they were subject to rationing, quiet hard to get. They were very desirable however as it was very fashionable to wear them. Women often just painted/drew a seam on the back of their legs to give the impression they were wearing nylons. The question is "what"did they use. There was a product on sale in drug stores called "Leg-tan" but if you could'nt afford it, like my sisters, they used gravy browning powder, made in water as normal then applied to the legs and allowed to dry before the seam was drawn with eyebrow pencil,by another female, the thicker you applied it ,the darker the "stockings" that was your personal choice, I think most wanted a light shade. Ah ! memories.

How old was crazy horse when he won the battle of little bighorn?
The Lakota or Teton Sioux kept no records of births, deaths and marriages so it is no surprise that the year of birth of Curly (later renamed Crazy Horse) is disputed. Estimates vary from 1840 to 1845, so he could have been 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 or 36 years old at the Little Bighorn.
To say he won the battle is to ignore the huge contributions of other Lakota leaders such as Gall, Crow King, Rain in the Face, American Horse, Low Dog, He Dog, Red on Top, Spotted Eagle, Jumping Bear, Kill Eagle, Crow Dog and Red Horse.

Who did the Sioux Indians take the land from?
The Sioux Indians originally inhabited the Great Plains region and did not take their land from any specific group in a formal sense, as they were among the indigenous peoples of North America. However, as European settlers expanded westward in the 19th century, the Sioux were displaced from their ancestral lands through treaties, warfare, and forced removals. This led to significant loss of territory, particularly during conflicts such as the Dakota War of 1862 and the Black Hills War, where they were ultimately forced to cede large portions of their land to the U.S. government.
