Mike Daggett

Mike Daggett, original Shoshoni name Ondongarte[1] (died February 25, 1911), was a Shoshone man who is best known for his involvement in the Battle of Kelley Creek, during which he was killed with several members of his family.

In the spring of 1910, Daggett led his family off the reservation and they traveled to Nevada and California where they worked at various jobs.

Their winter stores were running low so Mike decided to steal and slaughter some cattle belonging to a local rancher.

On February 25, 1911, the posse discovered Mike Daggett and his followers at a place known as Kelley Creek in Humboldt County, Nevada.

Kent was a member of the Skull and Bones secret student society at Yale University in New Haven.
