General Custer was a close observer and student of personal character.

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.

The first trip of the Pony Express was made in ten days - an average of two hundred miles a day. But we soon began stretching our riders and making better time.

The first presentation of my show was given in May, 1883, at Omaha, which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour, visiting practically every important city in the country.

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

Quick as lightning Wild Bill pulled his revolver. The stranger fell dead, shot through the brain.

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.
