RE: General George Crook's impression of Lincoln
As I understand it, Crook was critical of the federal Gov't for the repeated breaking of the treaties they made with the Indians, not living up to the treaty conditions, and giving the Indians bad deals. This created problems with those of higher rank. In the later years of his career, he was very much an advocate for better treatment and attempts to assimilate them into a changing world.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
