Indian Question from a Nebraska Point of View in 1877
From Western Nebraska the writer argues for peace with the tribes to restore trade and growth. He notes Custer’s death and Crook's losses, Miles' campaign against Crazy Horse, and hopes Spot ted Tail’s embassy leads to peace or a renewed war in spring. Gold fields draw migration, freight surges, and Sidney's town grows rapidly with daily stage service planned and a new daily newspaper forthcoming.
