It mny bo broadly stated aa nn
axiom that the most important mill
tary services are not thoao in which
the most blood has boon shed or in
which mnn's bittorcBt passions have
found their freest vent nnd fullest
scope ; but rather thosn in which the
the maximum of result htv boo
o fleeted with n minimum of caning
Simple as the statement may soci
the history of military operations w ;
show that only the greatest noldic
have absorbed its full meaning auc
shaped their policy , or evinced by i
or , rather , wo may put our views I
different ahapo nnd uny that those so
diera only have pursued n dofiml
policy , or evinced the doopcst know
edge of strategic principles who hav
Had this simple axiom constantly i
viow.
The mind of the unthinking ob
server la so generally dazzled by wha
are known aa brilliant victories , o
these most distinguished for slaugl
tor , and BO predisposed to lavis
eulogy and honor upon the commander
dor who loads his mon to fields o
senseless butchery , that ambition no
infrequently ovorturna the cool judgment
mont which , if loft to itself , wouu
prefer to work out with more dilatory
but less costly , moro unostontatiou
but also moro enduring methods , th
pinna of its campaigns.
Such a criticism is especially pertinent
nont to the Indian operations , ongag
ing the attention of our army sine
the commencement of the present con
tury. The average American citizen
lias net had the time nor the inclina
tion to study the Indian question ii
all its bearings , to examine fully int
nil phases of the aboriginal character
with its gond pointa nnd bad , its vir
tuct , vices , defects and capabilities ; to
atudy how much this character ha
been affected by contact with
THE TIDE
of a constantly aggressive nnd no
always considerate civilization ; to do
tennino dispassionately nnd accurate
ly wherein onr treatment of the ro <
man has boon dcfcctivo through ignor
nnco , want of nympathy , indifference
or positive torpitudo , or to draw the
exact line to which shall conform tin
rights of the Indian , the demands o
the Bottlers about him , nnd the capao
ity , character nnd attainments of the
agent who is supposed to hold the
acnlcs of justice between them both
Few men , wo say , have the time or
the inclination to enter into such n
study. Wo may say moro few , vori
few , mon have the mental porror , am
the calm , ovonly-poisod tone o
thought properly to seize and solve
the Indian problem aa it presents
itself to-day. This Indian problem
it is no longer an Indian question is
assumming each day a greater impor
tance in its bearing upon all that con
cerns the speedy development of our
now country beyond "tho Miasouri.
No stnto in this trans-Missouri domain
has boon moro docply concerned in
thisjlndian problem than the lusty
young state of Nebraska , nnd probnblj
no stnto has been moro immediately
and pormantly benefited by the satis
factory condition to which her personal -
nal relations with the Indians , once
threatening her prosperity and exist "
ence , have boon brought by the un
flinching courage , cool , long-hoadoc
judgment , nnd keen aonso of justice ,
to white men nnd rod mon alike , oi
the soldier whoso nnmo heads this of
article.
Sovornl years ago , when Gen.
George Crook first assumed command "
of the "military department of the
Platte , the rich valleys of the Loup
and Platte were scarcoljHsottled , nnd
the broad fields of the Elkhorn , Nio-
brara , and Republican were
A TEKUA INCOONITA.
It ia not BO many years ago , and yut
the intervening time has boon so replete -
pleto with prosperity to this lusty
commonwealth than many of its own
nowly-nrrived citizens bo
may sur
prised to loam that within its bounda
ries , in the latter part of 1875 , the
United States commission to treat for
the cession of the Black Hills was
threatened with destruction by Little
Big Man and other chiefs with whom
it was sent to confer.
Senator Allison , the chairman of ho
that commission , ought to bo in a posi
tion to give nome definite and trust
worthy Ideas upon the inflamed and
hostile state of the Indian fooling
toward our government and people at
that ' 'oio. The war which soon fol
lowed and lasted until the spring of
1877 , nearly n year nnd n half , proved
to bo , whether wo consider the num
bers of the Indians
engaged , their excellent -
collont preparation and equipment for
hostilities , and the character of their
chief , Crazy Jlorso , or upon the side
of our own people remember the mag
nitude of the growing interests involved -
volved and the paucity of the troops
on hand' to protect thorn the most in
aerioua that has over engaged the at
tention of our military establishment.
Wo mean no ditparagumont to the reg up
ular army when wo say that , as an
army , it was found to bo entirely in-
Hufliciont to moot the demands then of ing
made upon it , and , without Booking to
lessen the reputation of other ollioure , the
whore BO many showed themselves to
bo worthy and capable , the people of the
Nebraska and Wyoming know that to
General Crook's profound knowledge
of the Indian character , and to his
methods ot dealing with the tribes in
hostility , the
FULLEST MEED OF OKATITlfDE
is due. Ho alone , it may bo said ,
comprehended the inability of the
army to cope with the formidable force
of natural-born aoldiors opposed to it.
His BoldiorH , ho felt , were bravo
enough and earnest enough ; hia olll-
cere , the younger ones , at louat , active , ed
intelligent and ambitious. These
qualities would have told in a contest
with a civilized enemy of equal num.
bora , but ngiiiiat ton tiuioa their
strength , of the ihieat cavalry in the
world , availed but little. Our estimate -
mate of the power of the North
i , ' American plains Indian as a cavalry to
'force can not bo questioned. We re-
jpeat that the Siouz and Choycuncs ,
Arapaboes. Crows and Utos , have no
equals to-day in the whole world aa
light cavalry. Passing their whole
lives upon horseback , trained to the
fullest dexterity in the USD of the re
peating rifle , skilled in all the nrta o !
wood-craft , knowing every hill and
brook nnd canyon , they presented
themselves in the confidence of over
whelming numbers to Crook's little
force of 800 men on the Ilosobud
river , Montana , on n bright Juno
morning in 1870. That Crook's HUlo
band waa not snapped up at a mouth
ful waa duo to hia prcsonco in com-
mind , and to that alone. After n
hard-fought contest , lasting from
early morning until evening twilight ,
the enemy abandoned the attempt to
break our lines and retired , sullen
and diaappointod , from the fiold.
Wuro it our intention to prepare a
biographical sketch , wo would and
could go into details upon this engage
ment a task which wo may take up
at a later date.
THK MAIN
of the campaign and its results nlono
must claim our attention in this writ-
tig. The accuracy of Crook's cool ,
exact determination of the enemy's
lower received a startling endorse-
nont in less than n fortnight from the
date of this engagement , The same
'ndiatm who hnd withdrawn from
Jrook's front precipitated themselves
upon the unfortunate Ouster , who ,
with n force scarcely inferior to that
vliich Crook commanded on the Itoso-
iudwaj overwhelmed upon the Little
[ Jig Horn , half of his men falling with
lira upon the bloody Hold.
To follow through the remainder of
hat dreary campaign , with its fruit-
ess waiting nnd watching for the ro-
nforcomonts which oven in coming
would count for but little in n contest
with the wily fee in their front , as an
nfliction from which the reader mny
well desire to bo spared. In the
dreary commonplace of military cor
respondence , bound in nli formality
with the conventional rod tape , wo
find only ono gleam of what to our
mind may bo Uken aa common sense.
3rook , it waa evident , had early
despaired of subduing the hostiles
with the unaided efforts of white
aoldiors. For the reasons wo have al
ready given , nnd which no soldier np-
irociatod more keenly than Crook
limsolf , ho determined to supplement
lis force with a contingent of auxilia-
ioa , to bo drawn not only from friendly
ribos , but from the boaom of the hos-
ilos themselves.
In the very audacity of this plan
hero waa nn aaaurnnco of success ,
vliich awopt away the objections of
imid critics. It was known in the
army , and ia known to-day as
'Crook's plan. " Lot ua not bo mis-
understood. Other ofh'cora had pre
viously used and other oflicors at that
nomont urged the propriety of em-
> loying friendly
INDIANS AH SCOUTH
but the scheme to bring in Indians
who had just boon on the war-path
aijainst us , or who belonged to bands
then in hostility , struck all as chimer
ical nnd insensate. Crook had tried
it with abundant success in Califor
nia , in Washington territory , in Oregon
gen , in Nevada , and with brilliant
results against the hitherto indomit
able Apuuhpn of Arizona. It was his
plan then ; it wtu Ins plan now. Ho
argued in his logical way that if an
element of friendliness could bo found
among the Sioux nnd Uhoyonnus , that
element could bo concili '
ated nnd made to see that .
its interest would bo promoted
by nsoistint ; the government to maintain -
tain order and quiet nmong their own
people ; that the enlistment of such n
detachment would withdraw from the
effective strength of the enemy nnd
ndd to our own , would demoralise the
"sore-heads , " and give backbone to
thu well-disposed who wished to ox-
clmngo the ritlo for the plow , the
pony for the farm wagon , the breooh-
chmt nnd the blanket for the raiment
n
civilization.
Strong in his conviction , ho sot 'to
work. "You can'c "
do it , said the
"old-timers , " who opposed this inno
vation principally because it wasn't
laid down in the "Tactics and Ilogu-
lations" "you can't do it. " But I
did it I did it in Arizona , " replied !
Crook. "Oh , those Indians are dif
ferent. The Apaohos nro not like the
Sioux. You em t do it. " But Crook .
did it , nevertheless , Ho so on con
vinced the Indians that he was their .
best friend , anxious to defend their
rights and foster their interests , but
determined to
KTAMr OUT
those who persisted in hostility. Ho
showed , in n quiet nnd undemonstra
tive way , n lively sympathy in the
welfare of the Indian nnd a com
passion fortho , injustice from which
too often Buffered. When ho '
struck , na strike lie did in the follow
ing winter , ho struck hard. When
the Indian sued for pence , our soldier
discovered the possession of admin- 0.
atr.itivo abilities of the highest order ,
nnd brought them nil to boar in ad
vancing the interests of these who so
lately hud boon his foes. The cam
paign of the winter of 1870 7 , where
our American troops marched through
the frozpn valleys of the Powder nnd
and Little Missouri , in storms during
which the mercury congealed in the
bulb , practically terminated in the de
struction of the great Ohoyonno vil
lage of Dull Knife and Little Wolf , of
the latter part of the
month of November. These chiefs ,
to the time so irreconcilably hos
tile , saw that the day of settlement
was at hntid ; with our cavalry charg
into their village at the gray dnwn
morning , they discovered
their hereditary focmnn
Pnwnoo. Shoshone , nud linn-
nock , and with tlioin former friends , of
Sioux nnd Arnpahoes , nnd , worat
sight of all , n largo body of their own
people ! To continue the struggle
against such odds , they had nense
enough to perceive would bo madness. [
Overtures for their surrender were
teen arranged , uud , late in January ,
1877 , the main body of the Choy-
cnnos not only surrendered , but ns
proof of their friendship offered to as
sist the troops in driving Crazy Horeo
and the northern Sioux to u roaorvn-
tion , This proposition Crook nccept-
, but declined to put in execution
until ufter Spotted Tdl should have
had n clmtico to go out to the hostiloa , '
explain to them the clmnge in thu
condition of nlluirs mm the hopeless
ness of further rowstanoe , and nak The
them to
LAY JIOWK THKIll AUMH
avert the shedding of blood. Crazy
Horse , convinced of the desporatu
straitu to which Ida people wore ro-
duced. moved to Red Cloud agency
nnd there submitted , early in May ,
1877t The oifgregato of those surrendering -
rendering nt lied Cloud nnd Spotted
Toil nifoncies ( then in northwestern
Nebraska ) , from December , 18 < G , to
May , 1877 , cannot have boon very far
from 4COO ; w s have not the official
figures , but from our recollection
these given above cannot be far out
of the way , nnd represent in them-
solvoa the dostructiva energy of n
oyclono which , with a less discreet nnd
capable general on our side , would
Burcly have swept Montana , Wyom
ing nnd Nebraska with the besom of
wrath and desolation. Had Crook
pursued n different policy , his name
would with frequency have ap
peared in bulletins of skirmishes
nnd bloody battles , and much
distinction na distinction is goner-
Jly considered might hnvo converg
ed upon him ; but would the settle
ment of our great stnto hnvo been in
so advanced n stage of progress , and
would not our national exchequer
have felt the drain of such n wnr ?
Crook chose the bettor part ; instead
of killing the Indian , ho hoped to
make n friend ; perhaps , in time , to
lut him on the road to freedom nnd
iitizonship. How wnll ho succeeded
n this is shown by the influence ho
las acquired and maintained over
; hose formerly hostile bnnds ; nnd by
ho implicit confidence with such load
ers ai Spotted Tail , Red Cloud , Wash-
akio , Sharp Noau nnd Dull Knife
mvo reposed in his judgment nnd
counsels.
If our country hns over hnd nn
I.NDIAK I'ACIFICATOII
as able nnd successful ns Geprgo Crook
wo should bo glad to know it ; and if
n the long list of ofliccra on the rolls
of our army there bo ono to compare
with him in fruitful , arduous and un
ceasing service among the wildest of
our savngo tribes , wo ask for his nnmo.
Jpon this hcnd , nnd , indeed , upon
ho whole subject matter of our arti
cle , wo invite criticism nnd challenge
contradiction , From the moment of
iia entry into service , some time in *
ho early part of thu CD's , Crook has
> eon prominently before the people of
ho Pacific slope on account of hia un-
ravoring success against hostile tribes
rom British America to Mexico.
10 was assigned to the com-
nand of the Army of Western
Virginia , and , wo need not
say , proved equal to every trust re-
losou in him. In the reorganization
) f our < military establishment , his
nodost merit did not receive the re
cognition a pretentious egotism might
lave secured him. We find him ,
lotfover , assigned to commands which
should have devolved upon some of
, ko oflicors who were willing to hold
ligh rank without discharging the ? o
obligations of their positions ; those
commands , in all cases , were in
districts infested by the worst Indians
n our country. The Klamaths of
Oregon , the Snakes and Fiutos of
S'ovadu and Idaho , and the Apaches
of Arizona , each in turn acknowledge
lis power , and made pence with the
government that sent him.
Since 1875 , the barren outline
ibovo given will afford n good general
dea of the service ho has rendered to
his part of the west. No officer who
las over boon in this part of Nebraska
s personally more popular thnn
3rook. His unaffected modesty nnd
gentle dignity have turned into warm
'riends the admirers whom his abili-
.103 nnd character have nttractnd.

"Yes , sir , I'll try. The prisoner
and that man were eating dinner at
