I Believe Much Trouble Would Be Saved

It Takes Few Words To Tell The Truth.

We Gathered All The Stock We Could Find, And Made An Attempt To Move. We Left Many Of Our Horses And Cattle In Wallowa. We Lost Several Hundred In Crossing The River.

I Saw That The War Could Not Be Prevented. The Time Had Passed.

When I Think Of Our Condition, My Heart Is Heavy. I See Men Of My Own Race Treated As Outlaws And Driven From Country To Country, Or Shot Down Like Animals.

I Cannot Tell How Much My Heart Suffered For My People While At Leavenworth.
