I Am Not A Child, I Think

General Howard Informed Me, In A Haughty Spirit, That He Would Give My People 30 Days To Go Back Home, Collect All Their Stock, And Move Onto The Reservation.

We Gathered All The Stock We Could Find, And Made An Attempt To Move. We Left Many Of Our Horses And Cattle In Wallowa. We Lost Several Hundred In Crossing The River.

Some Of You Think An Indian Is Like A Wild Animal. This Is A Great Mistake.

We Are Going By You Without Fighting If You Will Let Us, But We Are Going By You Anyhow!

I Am Tired Of Talk That Comes To Nothing.
