just four Indians ’* If tea senate
estimate aad Grunnell’s statement
are correct that meant teat it cost
the United States more than $4,000..
000 to kill each of those four war
riors! That is why it was one of
tee most expensive wars Uncle Sam
ever waged, and by no stretch of the
imagination can it to said that he
won it. It was not until the Medi
cine Lodge treaty was signed the fol
lowing October that peace returned
to the Plains.
One little-known fact in connec
tion with this little-known war is
that it almost resulted fatally for
the military reputation of one of its
leaders. For Custer, driven almost
frantic by the frustration of his ef
forts to win a victory over tee In
dians, was led into a series of rash
acts that ended in a court-martial
and his suspension from rank and
command for a year. However, his
victory at the battle of the Washita
in 1868 restored him to favor of the
authorities and started him on his
successful career as an Indian
; fighter.
