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

If Wild Bill could have made his successful dash into our lines earlier in the day, the attuck would have been made sooner, and greater results might have been expected. The Confederates had suspected him of being a spy for two or three days, and had watched him too closely to allow an opportunity to get away from them sooner.

Major North and myself went out in advance of the command several miles and killed a number of buffaloes.

Don't ever say you are sorry for "being caught in the moment". Because, at that moment, that is EXACTLY where you wanted to be.

But the West of the old times, with its strong characters, its stern battles and its tremendous stretches of loneliness, can never be blotted from my mind.

As a good horse is not very apt to jump over a bank, if left to guide himself, I let mine pick his own way.

Major North has had for years complete power over these Indians and can do more with them than any man living.
