General George Crook said, "Our treatment of the Indians is an outrage."
He also said, "It would not be very long before we would have you all [the Indians] killed off, and then the government would have no more trouble with you."
General Philip Sheridan said, "We took away their country and their means of support, and it was for this and against this they made war. Could anyone expect less?"
But he also said, "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead."
I guess they both spoke with fork-ed tongues!
