I appeal to you as a soldier to spare me the humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I not share its dangers.
There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry.
There are far more statues of soldiers out there than there are of civilians.
I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.
Where did all these damn Indians come from?
My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.
