Spotted Tail Appeals for Peace

The Indian chief, "Spotted Tail," has addressed a letter to Secretary Schurtz, in which he says: "I want to tell you these last words. I have had enough of the military. I want my people to work. I want no more scouting. I have had my belly full. We want to freight and work the ground. Since we have been here my people have had no whisky. Wherever the military are there is always whisky, and that makes trouble. I want you to come here and stay a month, and see how it is. My friend, this is all I have to tell you." It is a shame to treat such a man as a savage.
