“Sitting Bull was an older man; and had made his reputation in the same way as the leader of the hostile element and by his intense hatred of the white race. He visited the white settlements only to raid and plunder. He was the embodiment of everything hostile to civilization, a perfect type of the savage Indian. He always advocated war upon the white race.”
