The Indians Said The Bones

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.

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.

The Indians Said The Bones Were Those Of A Race Of People ... Three Times The Size Of A Man.

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.

Every Indian Outbreak That I Have Ever Known Has Resulted From Broken Promises And Broken Treaties By The Government.
