Dedication
TO THE
TYPICAL AMERICAN SOLDIER
WHOSE MOTTO, LIKE GENERAL CROOK’S, IS BRAVERY,
EFFICIENCY, AND “JUSTICE TO ALL”
Epigraph
“Then General Crook came; he, at least, had never lied to us. His words gave the people hope. He died. Their hope died again. Despair came again.”
Chief Red Cloud of the Sioux
