Calmar Junction Visit with Spotted Tail Chief Elect
On Wednesday morning I felt better and returned to Calmar Junction that night. We were approached by the Spotted Tail Chief elect and his interpreter en route to see Gen Sherman and the President for aid to confirm his chieftain claim. The chief appeared old and unshod, while the interpreter, a fine man, spoke highly of native spirit though the chief’s cleanliness was criticized.
