as of careful personal study of the
scenes of events recounted.
Typical of the nature and quality
of the narrative as a study of In
dian character or characters, as a
record of adventure, and as history,
may be taken the account of Sitting
Bulls part in the Little Big Horn
battle. Custer, it will be remember
ed, divided his force, sending Major
Reno to charge at one end of the In
dian village, while he moved on
around toward the other. Reno did
not charge the village, but dismount-
ed his men and fired on few scat
tered braves from cover. What the
outcome of the battle might have
been had he followed orders it is
needless to discuss. His firing, how
ever, did give Sitting Bull bad
scare. AS Major McLaughlin's story
runs:
"That morning he (Sitting BULL
had informed the people that he
would remain in camp and make
medicine. There were very fey.
if any, men in that portion of the
camp with him when Reno's bullets
ratified through the tepee poles. The
surprise created a panic in the heart,
never very valorous, of Sitting Bull.
He explained afterwards that his
capture would mean the loss of his
medicine to the Sioux, and he did
not want to take any chances when
the soldiers rushed into the camp,
as he expected they would when the
firing began. His ponies were close
at hand, and the medicine man got
his women and children together and
made straight for the hills to the

genuine esteem. Being on intimate
terms with the red man, however,
has not meant an uneventful life.
On the contrary, it has meant a
strenuous life, with strenuosity
raised to a high power. The major,
therefore,, has many a good story
to tell, and he has told them we'll
between the covers of the book in
hand. Indeed, it would be difficult
to find a book, covering the same
period and having to do with the
same subject-the Indian-which
would show like wealth Of adven-
ture and intimate knowledge Of the
native of the plains.
"The book, however, is more than
a record of the majors own rela-
lions with the Indians; it contains
chapters, like that on Clusters last
fight on the Little Big Horn, giving
the Indians side of important his
torical episodes, and is, therefore,
of great historical value. Such chap
ters are the fruit of long and patient
inquiry among the Indians, as well

fire, and kept on going. He marched
for eight or ten miles without stop
ping, and was still going when
couriers overlook him and announc-
ed the humiliation of the Custer
command. It was late in the after
noon before he returned to the vii
lage, and he then arrogantly claim
ed all the honor for the victory
gained, accounting from his absence
from the field during the engage
ment with the troops by announcing
that he had been in the hills over
looking the battlefield, engaged in
propitiating the evil spirits and in
voking the gods of war;
"For the Indian problem, very
real problem, which the major puts
very directly-How is the Indian to
be saved from himself and his
riches?-this solution is offered:
"'Give the people the money they
have coming; give it to them as soon
as possible. So soon as the proper
official declares that an Indian is
competent to administer his own af-
fairs, let the Indian have his por-
ton of the funds, also patent in
fee for his allotment, and let him
shift for himself. This procedure
will relieve the government of the
care of these funds and build up
manhood and individual self-reli-
ance, which can never be realized
under the present doing out process.

MAJOR MCLAUGHLIN
Tells EXPERIENCES

Major James Mclaughlin, for many
years an inspector of the Indian SER
vice, has written a book dealing
with the history of the Indians of
the northwest, and it is being re-
ceived with interest by the reading
public A recent view of it says:
major James Mclaughlin, United
States Indian inspector, uses no po-
etic or prose license when he calls
the Indian his friend. For thirty
eight years has has been on intimate
terms with the red men of the west,
and by his service in the peaceable
settlement of difficulties between the
Indians and the whites he has won

participated on the frontier, from
the Indians point of view, and in
the Indians right to make
his own way in the world without
further coddling, Major Mclaughlin
merits the more friendship from the
Indian by showing himself again, as
he has shown himself often in the
past, friendly toward the red mans
best interests.

and good rea1ing."
