firing and W wi S found out that hat the soldiers were 01 z us the women and children were at al frightened and started to run across ac road the hills and we men mounted out oui horses and started toward the enemy I 1 remember that we pushed reno back until he had to cross the river and go up against the blurts bluffs and ther then some of our sioux rode around th e hill to head him off and wo we had him in a pocket after we had killed many of re I 1 nos men custer came along th the ridge and we were called off aft to elgh ft custer we kept circling around cus C us I 1 ter and as hir men came down thi the ridge we shot them down and then the rest dismounted and ana gathered in li i a bunch kneeling down and shooting 4 from behind their horses we circlet circled k round and round birin firing g into ouster custers I 1 men until the last man was killed 1 I did not sm see custer fall for al sm see fall for al all the indians did not know which was custer ono one reason why we did not scalp custer was waa because the indians indiana and tho the white soldiers were so mixed up that it was waa hard to distinguish ono one man from another and another reason was because custer wals the bra grayest lir avest yest man of all and we re did not byant vant to touch him as he be made the i st stand this ta Is also the opinion 0 of iraln tn ln abe faco I 1 u regarding the cause of the custer i g gi fight I 1 must say eay wo we were pursued by the soldiers we were on the warpath karpath and we wore were on the warpath karpath with the crows crowe and other tribes wo we were driven out of tho the black hills by tho the men seeking booking gold and our gamo game was driven off and wo we started on our journey in search of gama our children child en were wera starving and we had to have something to eat there was buffalo in that region and wo wa were moving simply camping here and there and lighting fighting our indian enemies as we advanced in order to got the gamo game that was in this coun try we fought this battle from daylight until three in the aft ernson and all of the white men werle killed I 1 think that ouster custer was t s very bravo brave man to all these in deans with hla his few man fron daylight until the sun was almost going down the poetical nature of the indian was exemplified in the words of calel plenty coos chief of all the cron nation in summoning other chiefs to the last great council organized in the valley of the attle dig big morn horn montana by the rodman wanamaker Wana makor expedition the indian chieftain said in part 1 I see as in a vision the dying spark of 0 our council fltka the ashes cold and white I 1 see sea no more the Cl curling irling smoke rising from our lodge poles I 1 hear no longer the songs of the women as they prepare the meal the antelope have gone the buffalo wallows are empty only the wall of the t e coyote Is 18 heard the white ma medicine Is stronger than ours his iron horse rushes over the buffalo trail lie he talks to us through his whispering spirit tho the indians name for the telegraph and telephone we are like birds with a broken wing my heart Is cold within me my eyes are growing dim 1 I am old before our red brothers pass on to the happy hunting ground let us bury the torna tomahawk hawk let us break our arrows lf it I t us ua wash off our war paint in the river and I 1 will instruct our medicine men to tell the women to prepare a great council lodge I 1 will send our hunters bunters into the hills and pines for deer 1 I will send my runners to the lodges of the blackfoot where in that far north lowers flowers border the snow on the hills I 1 will send thorn them across the flery fiery desert to the lodges of the apaches in the south I 1 will send them east to the lodges of the sioux warriors who have met us in many a 1 hard bard battle I 1 will send them to the west where among the mountains dwell the cayuse and the Unia tillas 1 I will have the outriders outsiders out riders build smoke signals on all tho the high hills calling the chiefs of all the tribes together that we may meet here as brothers and friends in one great last council that we may eat our bread and meat together and smoke the t he council pipe and say eay farewell as aa I 1 brothers never to meet again |
