| First Sentence: |
It was when the lamented Lincoln first took the helm of the ship of state, that ship already quivering on the storm-lashed waters of the sea of treason, that Red Cloud, one of the noblest chiefs of the tribe of Sioux, whose hunting-grounds stretch along from the base of the great Rocky Mountains over the plains watered by the Yellowstone and its affluents, visited Washington in company with a half-dozen subordinate chiefs of his own and other tribes, to see their "Great Father," and ask of him the justice which had been denied them by the agent of Floyd, the robber, and Buchanan, the imbecile. |
