Edmund has sometimes mistakenly been called Edmond or Edward, as well as Ed, and even Ned.

This is a reference to Edmund found in the Kansas Historical Society Collections titled E. W. Wynkoop and the Bluff Creek Council, 1866:

"Edmond Guerrier (sometimes spelled Guerier), half-breed son of a French trader and Cheyenne mother, spent much time living with the Indians while also acting as interpreter for government Indian agents and commanders. He was considered reliable by authorities. At times he was called Ned Geary. -- Nye, Plains Indian Raiders, p. 254."
