Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

I had many enemies among the Sioux; I would be running considerable risk in meeting them.

I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government, by taking them all over the United States, and giving them a correct idea of the customs, life, etc., of the pale faces, so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.

Washington newspaper men know everything.

On reaching the place where the Indians had surprised us, we found the bodies of the three men whom they had killed and scalped, and literally cut into pieces.

We got more provisions for our whiskey than the same money, which we paid for the liquor, would have bought; so after all it proved a very profitable investment.

The cholera had broken out at the post, and five or six men were dying daily.
