of Modern Times.
Although not great war chief as the
Indians understand and apply the term,
Sitting Bull was the most prominent and
influential blanket Indian in America.
His supremacy was due TO his head, for
he lacked-being possessed of brains
that insane courage that characterizes
most of his people. Fully approaching
danger, although by no means the coward
or "squaw-man" that the newspapers
generally described him to be, he never
unnecessarily exposed himself. He had
much executive ability and could plan
campaign or execute retreat with equal
facility. He did his fighting much as the
great Generals OF later days have done,
from position In the rear. His COM
mands were carried to the front by run
ners; that is to say, when he had any
orders to give. AS rule, after battle
had begun, the old chief interfercd but
little with advice or directions, trusting
TO his lieutenants TO carry out the few
instructions given In advance, or take
the consequences.
