The Chevennes were mountain Indians, accustomed to the clear, pure air of the high altitudes, and in the lowlands of the south they rapidly sickened sick-ened and died until two-thirds of their number had perished. Again and again Dull Knife ap pealed to the government for permission io return to their old home In the north, but bis appeal was all in vain. t Finally in desperation Dull Knife and Little Wolf, the Junior war chief, resolved to leave their hated reservation. In the fall of 1878 they started north and although six lines of military barrier were thrown out to stop them, they cut their way through three of these lines before Dull Knife and a. part of the Cheyennes were captured in Nebraska. They were taken to Fort Robinson, disarmed and imprisoned In an old barracks. Army officers, acting under instructions from Washington, informed them that they must be returned to Indian Territory.

We bowed to the will of the Great Father and went far into the south where he told us to go. There we found a hyena cannot live. Sickness came among us that made mourning in every lodge. Then the treaty promises were broken, and our rations were short. Those not worn by disease were wasted by hunger. To stay there meant that all of us would die. Our petitions to the Great Father were unheeded. We thought it better to die fighting to regain our old homes than to perish of sickness. Then our march was begun. The rest you know.
