1875

1875 was the year that the Eighth Doctor visited the Dakota Territory of the United States. There, he met General George Armstrong Custer of the United States Army and Running Bear and Chief Sitting Bull of the Lakota Sioux. He also became re-acquainted with Destrii, who was seriously injured by her uncle, Jodafra, and his plan to use the Windigo. It was therefore in this year that Destrii became a travelling companion of the Doctor, with their first journey together being to a hospital to heal the wounds that she sustained.
