A well-known Indian fighter during his lifetime, Nihill was close friends with William F. \"Buffalo Bill\" Cody and Captain Jack Crawford. He was also considered at one time to be one of the top marksmen in the United States armed services. By 1885, he had won every shooting medal offered by the US military and was barred from accepting awards at further competitions."@en . "Sharpshooter's Silver Cross"@en . . . "5"^^ . . . "200"^^ .
