article entitled "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs," I was so
pleased with Joseph's statement — necessarily ex parte
though it was, and naturally inspired by resentment toward me as a
supposed enemy — that at first I had no purpose of making a
rejoinder. But when I saw in the "Army and Navy Journal" long
passages quoted from Joseph's tale, which appeared to reflect
unfavorably upon my official conduct, to lay upon me the blame of
the atrocious murders committed by the Indians, and to convict me
of glaring faults where I had deemed myself worthy only of
commendation, I addressed to the editor of that journal a
communication (which has been published) correcting
misstatements, and briefly setting forth the facts of the case. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
