28 e ? a 2 IHE OMAHA DAQLY BEE: FRIDAY, MAY &, 1882 —_————— CROOK’S CAMPAIGNS, Review of the Seven Years’ Military Service Among the Indians of Gen, George Crook. Result jof the Pacific Policy Pursued Afver the Terrible Custer Slaughter, enne fetter Chicago Times, t may bo broadly stated as an axiom that the most important mili- tary services are not those in which the most blood has been shed or in which man’s bitterest passions have found their freest vent and fullest scope; but rather those in which the the maximum of result has been © flected with a minimum of carnage. Simple as the statement may seein, the history of military operations will show that only the greatest noldiers have absorbed its full meaning and shaped their policy, or evinced by it; or, rather, we may put our views in different shape and say that those sol- diers only have pursued a definite policy, or evinced the deepest knowl- edge of strategic principles who have had this simple axiom constantly in view, The mind of the unthinking ob- server is so generally dazzled by what are known as brilllant victories, or those most distinguished for slaugh- ter, and so predisposed to lavish eulogy and honor upon the comman- der who leads his men to fields of senseless butchery, that ambition not infrequently overturns the cool judF» ment which, if left to itself, would prefer to work out with more dilatory, but less costly, more unostentatious but also more enduring methods, the plans of its campaigns. Such a criticism is especially perti- nent to the Indian operations, engag- ing the attention of our array since the commencement of the present cen- tury. The average American citizen has nct had the time nor the inclina- tion {o study the Indian question in Arapahoes, Crows and Utes, have no equals to-day in the whole world as light cavalry. Passing their whole lives upon horseback, trained to the fallest dexterity in the use of the ro- peating rifle, skilled in all the arta of wood-craft, knowing every hill and brook and canyon, they presented themselves in the confidence of over- whelming numbers to Crook’s httle force of 800 men on the Rosebud river, Montana, on a bright June morning in 1876, That Crook’s little band was not snapped ap at a mouth- ful was due to his presence in com- mand, and to that alone. After a hard-fought contest, lasting from early morning until evening twilight, the enemy abandoned the attempt to break our lines and retired, sullen and disappointed, from the field. Were it our intention to prepare a biographical sketch, we would and could go into details upon this engage- ment—a task which we may take up at a later dato. THE MAIN FEATURES of the campaign and its results alone muat claim our attention in this writ- ing. The accuracy of Crook’s cool, exact determination of the enemy's power received a startling ondorse- ment in less than a fortnight from the date of this engagement. The same Indians who had withdrawn from Orook’s front precipitated themselves upon the unfortunate Custer, who, with a force scarcely inferior to that duced, moved to Red Cloud .g;incy and there submitted, early in May, 1877, The aggregate of those sur- rendering at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies (then in northwestern Nebraska), from December, 1876, to May, 1877, cannot have been very far from 4,600; we have not the official figures, but from our recollection those given above cannot be far out of the way, and represent in them- selves ths destructive energy of a oyclone which, with a less discreet and capable general on our side, would surely have swept Montana, Wyom- ing and Nebraska with the besom of wrath and desolation. Had Crook pursuod a different policy, his name would with frequency have ap- peared in bulletins of skirmishes and bloody battles, and much distinction—as distinction is gener- ally considered —might have converg- ed upon him; but would the settle- ment of our great state have been in no advanced a stags of progress, and would not our national exchequer have felt the drain of such a war’ Crook chose the better part; instead of killing the Indian, he hoped to make a friend; perhaps, in time, to put him on the road to freedom and citizenship. How well he suczeeded in this is shown by the inflvence he has acquired and maintained over these tormerly hostile bands; and by the 1mplicit confidence with such lead- era as Spotted Tail, Red Cloud, Wash- which Crook commanded on the Rose- bud, was overwhelmed upon the Little Big Horn, half of his men falling with him upon the bloody tield. To follow through the remainder of that dreary campaign, with its fruit. loss waiting and watching for the re- inforcements which even in coming would count for but little in a contest with the wily foe in their front, as an infliction from which the reader may well desire to be spared. In the dreary eommonplace of military cor- respondence, bound in ali formality with the conventional red tape, we find only one gleam of what to our mind may be taken as common sense. Orook, it was evident, had early dospaired of subduing the hostiles witE‘ the unaided efforts of white all its bearings, to examine fully into all phases of the aboriginal character, with its good points and bad, its vir- tuee, vices, defects and capabilities; to study how much this character has been affected by contact with THE SURGING TIDE of a constantly aggressive and not always considerate civilization; to de- termine dispassionately and accurate- 1y wherein our treatment of the red man has been defective through ignor- ance, want of sympathy, indifference, or positive terpitude, or to draw tho exact line to which shall conform the rights of the Indian, the demands of the settlers about him, and the capac- ity, character and attainments of the agent who is supposed to hold the scales of justice between them both, Few men, we say, have the time or the inclination to enter into sucha study. We may say more—few, very few, men have the mental power, and the calm, evenly-poised tone of thought properly to seize and solve the Indian problem as it presents itself to-day. This Indian problom — it is no longer an Indian question—is assumming each day a greater impor- tance in its bearing upon all that con- cerns the speedy development of our new country beyond tgs Missouri. No state in this trans-Missouri domain has been more deeply concerned in thisflndian problem ‘than the lusty young state of Nebraska, and probably no state has been more immediately and permantly benefited by the eatis- factory condition to which her perso- nal relations with the Indians, once threatening her prosperity and exist- wnce, have been brought by the un- flinching courage, cool, long-headed judgment, and keen sense of justice, 1o white men and red men alike, of the soldier whose name heads this article, Several years ago, when Gen. George Crook first assumed command of the Jmilitary department of the Platte, the rich valleys of the Loup and Platte were scarcelyfisettled, and the broad fields of the Elkhorn, Nio- brara, and Republican were A TERRA INCOGNITA, It is not 8o many years ago, and yet the intervening time has been 80 ro- plete with prospority to this lusty commonwealth than many of its own newly-arrived citizens may be sur- prised to learn that within its bounda- ries, in the latter part of 1875, the United States commission to treat for the cession of the Black Hills was threatened with destruction by Little Big Man and other chiefs with whom it was sent to confer, Senator Allison, the chairman of that commission, ought to bein a posi- tion to 1ivo some definite and trust- worthy ideas upon the inflamed and hostile state of the Indian feeling toward our government and people at that #ime, The war which soon fol- lowed and lasted until the spring of 1877, nearly a year and a half, proved to be,—whether we consider the num- bers of the Indians engaged, their ex- cellent preparation and equipment for hostilities, and the character of their chief, Crazy Horse, or upon the side of our own people remember the mag- nitude of the growing interests in- volved and the paucity of the troops on hand to protect them—the most serious that has ever engaged the at- tention of eur military establishment, ‘We mean no disparagement to the reg- ular army when we say that, as an army, it was found to be entirely in- sufficient to meet the demands then made upon it, and, without seeking to lessen the reputation of other ofticers, where 80 many showed themselvos to be worthy and capable, the people of Nebraska and Wyoming know that to General Orook’s profound knowledge of the Indian c‘mruuler, and to his s of dealing with the tribes in , the FULLEST MEED OF GRATITUDE is due. He alone, 1t may be said, comprehended the inability of the army to cope with the formidable force of natural-born soldiers opposed to it. His soldiers, ho felt, were brave enough and earnest enough; his ofli- cers, the younger ones, at least, active, intelligent and ambitious, These qualities would have told in & contest with & civilized enemy of equal nu- bers, but aghinst ten times their strength, of the finest cavalry in the world, availed but little. Our esti- mate of the power of the North American plains Indian as a cavalry soldiers. For the reazons we have al- ready given, and which no soldier ap- preciated more keenly than Crook nimself, he determined to supplement his force with acontingent of auxilia- ries, to bo drawn not only from friendly tribes, but from the bosom of the hos- tiles themselves. In the very audacity of this plan there was an assurance of success, which swept away the objections of timid critics. It was known in the army, and is known to-day as “Crook’s plan.” Let us not be mis- understood. Other officers had pre- viously used and other officors at that moment urged the propriety of em- ploying friendly INDIANB A8 SCOUTS, but the scheme to bring in Indians who had just been on the war-path agonst us, or who belonged to bands then in hostility, struck all as chimer- ical and insensate. Crook had tried it with abundant success in Califor- nia, in Washington territory, in Ore- gon, in Nevada, and with brilliant results against the hitherto indomit- able Apaches of Arizona. It was his plan then; it was his plan now. He argued in his logical way that 1f an element of friendliness could be found among the Sioux and Cheyennes, that element could be coneili- ated and made to see that its interest would be promoted by assisting the government to main- tain order and quiet among their own people; that the enlistment of such a detachment would withdraw from the effective strength of the enemy and add to our own, would demoralize the “‘gore-heads,” and give backbone to the well-disposed who wished to ex- change the rifle for the plow, the pony for the farm wagon, the breech- clout and the blanket for the raiment of civilization, Strong in his conviction, he set ‘to work. *You can’t do it,” said the ‘‘old-timers,” who opposed this inno- vation principally because it wasn’t laid down in the *Tacties and Regu- lations”—‘‘you can't do it.” But I did it—I did it in Arizona,” replied Orook. “‘Oh, those Indians are dif- ferent. The Apaches are not like the Sioux. You cant do it.” But Crook did it, nevertheless, He soon con- best friend, anxious to defend their rights and foster their interests, but determined to STAMP OUT those who persisted in hostility, He showed, in a quiet and undemonstra. tive way, a lively sympathy in the welfare of the Indisn and a com- Kuuiun for the injustice from which e too often sutfered. When he struck, as strike ho did in the follow- ing winter, he struck hard. When the Indian sued for peace, our soldier discovered the possession of admin- strative abilitios of the highest order, and brought them all to bear in ad- vancing tho interests of those who so lately had been his foes, The cam- paign of the winter of 1876—7, where our American troops marched through the frozon valleys of the Powder and and Little Missouri, in storms during which the mercury congealed in the bulb, practically terminated in tho de- truotion of the great Cheyenne vil: Iage of Dull Knife and Little Wolf, in" the latter part of the month of November, These chiefs, up to the timo 8o irreconcilably hos tile, saw that the day of settioment was at haud; with our cavalry charg- ing into their village at the gray dawn of morning, they discovered their herediiary foeman — the Pawnee. Shoshone, and Ban- nock, and with them former friends, the Sioux and Arapahoes, and, worst sight of all, a large body of their own people! f'o continue” the struggle against such odds, they had sense enough to perceive would be madness, Overtures for their surrender were soon arranged, and, late . January, 1877, the main body of the Chey- ennes not only surrendered, but as a proof of their friendship offered to as- sist the troops iu driving Crazy Horse and the northern Sioux to & roserva- tion, This proposition Crook accept- ed, but dechined to put in execution untl after Spotted Tiil should have had a chance to go out to the hostiles, explain to them the change i the condition of affairs and the hopeless- noss of further resistance, and ask thew to LAY DOWN THEILR ARMS to avert the shedding of blood, Craz; force can not be questioned, We re- peat that the Bioux and Cheyennes, Horse, convinced of the desperate straite to which his people were re- vinced the Indians that he was their |4, akie, Sharp Nose and Dull Knife have reposed in his judgment and counsels, If our country has ever had an INDIAN PACIFICATOR a8 able and successful as George Crook wo should be glad to know it; and if in the long list of officers on the rolls of our army there be one to compare with him in fraitful, arduous and un- ceasing service among the wildest of our savage tribes, we ask forhis name, Upon this head, and, indeed, upon tho whole subject matter of our arti- cle, we invite criticism and challenge contradiction. From the moment of his entry into service, some time in the early part of the 50's, Crook has been prominently before the psuPle of the Pacific slope on account of his un- wavering success against hostile tribes trom British America to Mexico. During the war of the rebellion he was assigned to the com- mand of the Army of Western Virginia, and, we need not Bay, ‘froved equal to every trust re- posed in him. In the reorganization of our .military establishment, his modest merit did not receive the re- cognition a pretentious egotism might have secured him. We find him, however, assigned to commands which should have devolved upon some of tke officers who were willing to hold high rank without discharging the ob%igatiunu of their positions; these commands, in all cases, were in districts infested by the worst Indians in our country. The Klamaths of Oregon, the Snakes and Piutes of Nevada and Idaho, and the Apaches of Arizona, each in turn acknowledge his power, and made peace with the government that sent him.
