Warrior and the Lonetree Incident

By J.C. Cantle

Book Overview

This is a novel based on a true incident that happened in Marbleton Wyoming in 1983 and is what as I imagine it may have been for those that found the burial as well as the life chronicle of the mummified corpse. * * * "An Indian who is as bad as the white men could not live in our nation; he would be put to death, and eat up by wolves. The white men are bad schoolmasters; they carry false looks, and deal in false actions; they smile in the faces of the poor Indian to cheat him; they shake them by the hand to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to deceive them, and ruin our wives. We told them to let us alone, and keep away from us; but they followed on, and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us, like a snake. They poisoned us by their touch." Black Hawk, in a speech at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, August 1835 * * * "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead." General Philip H. Sheridan, on being introduced to an Indian chief as a "Good Indian," at Fort Cobb, Indian Territory, January 1869
