The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-07-06

Mrs. z. Plsssmann derstood Indian
tactics, and that wisest of Americans,
Benjamin Franklin.
Braddock frankly told them what he
purposed doing, and was met by pro-
tests from his auditors, who claimed
that way of fighting would be suicidal.
Braddock was contemptuous in a gen.
tlemanly manner, giving them to un-
derstand that he had fought elsewhere;
knew what he was about, and did not
need the advice of those he considered
used to what later came to be termed
guerilla warfare.
The Americans insisted he would
make a fatal mistake if he attempted
to carry out his tactics, as the red un-
forms of the soldiers could not fail to
draw the fire of the enemy.
Braddock answered to this effect:
Gentlemen, your way of fighting may
be all right for frontiersmen, but you
overlook the fact that my soldiers have
,waged many battles, and cannot be
overcome" These are not his exact
words, but represent their purport.
Ecalizing that their efforts to influ-
ence the general were futile, they were
abandoned, and they turned their at
tention to providing wagons needed,
and supplies for the troops.
The sequel is well known to any one
at all familiar with colonial history.
How the men held to solid formation
and not permitted to leave the ranks
to seek shelter in the surrounding for
est as did the colonists, fell before the
unerring aim of an enemy they could
not see to charge, and their gallant
leader was slain. One of Braddock's
bravest acts, was to acknowledge before
his death, that he did wrong not to take
the advice of Washington and others
versed in savage tactics.
It would seem that this affair would
have served as a lesson for all time to
those who fought Indians. Unfortunate
ely this was not true. In the biography
of that noted engineer, Gen. G. M.
Dodge, as told in Trails, Rails and
War;" and in Gen. Dodge's own words,
we learn that history repeated itself
when Gen. Custer set out to subdue
the Sioux in 1876.
This noted Indian fighter went East
to gain permission to head his regiment
in the coming campaign. Says Gen.
Dodge:
From Washington, Custer came on
to New York and Charles Osborn, Jay
Gould's broker and a personal friend,
gave Custer a lunch in the rear of his
office. Gathered there were several
Of Osborn's and Clusters friends. I
had been invited and was present. Gus
ter in his conversation and in his as
sertion Of what his regiment could do,
said that his regiment could whip and
defeat all the Indians on the plains,
and was very rash in his statements.
The lunch. was a long one and the
champagne flowed freely. I paid little
attention to them because I knew they
were all talking big. The next day
Custer was in my office and I said to
him that my experience with the In
dams in the campaigns Of 1866 was
very different from his view OF It; that
my experience told me that one indian
on the plains, with his mode OF war
fare, was equal to one Of. our soldiers,
and that II he was going out to fight
the Indians with any idea they were to
be easily whipped he was greatly mis-

Fawcett has no less than eight me-

self-devotion to the cause of the poor

countrymen and of his Indian fellow
subjects. His heroic acceptance Of the
calamity of blindness has left mem
