Thanks for the excellent reference. Yes, the Indians were brave and always fighting each other and decimating the buffaloes. And the squaws were not treated very well. Indian braves were a handful for courageous American soldiers.
I recommend Life Among the Indians by John Nelson and Harrington O’Reilly. Nelson has great stories and accurate views of Brigham Young. Nelson saw how the Feds in D.C. siphoned the allowance to the Indians which is heart breaking. Nelson also helped the Mormons travel from Illinois to Utah and was so thankful to leave when done. The things Nelson saw are so sad: murder of apostates, stealing from believers, and utopian dreams from King Brigham. Wow.
