I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.
The Seventh can handle anything it meets.
My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.
There are far more statues of soldiers out there than there are of civilians.
You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.
If I were an Indian...I would greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my people who adhere to the free open plains, rather than submit to the confined limits of a reservation.
