BIOGRAPHY: I-See-O, also known as Tahbonemah,(1849 - 1927) was a Kiowa-American soldier who served as an officer in the United States Army for nearly fifty years in the Seventh Cavalry and was the last active duty U.S. Army Indian Scout upon his death in 1927. Heenlisted in 1889 and served alongside future General Hugh L. Scott, teaching him the intricacies of indigenous warfare and Native American sign language.

He continued his service as a personal courier to General Nelson A. Miles for several years and re-enlisted at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1897.
