- Citazioni
Reporter: What about the Indians, General? And aren't the Black Hills officially Sioux land from the treaty of 1868?
General George Armstrong Custer: Whatever the right or wrong isn't the question. The Indians must be dispossessed. The practical question is how the inevitable can be accomplished with the least inhumanity to the Indians.
Reporter: Didn't General Polk say that?
General George Armstrong Custer: I believe in destiny, you see. For individuals as well as nations. Nothing can stop the movement of history.
Rather than being unique in this I imagine, he showed up at a time when the West was interested in Native people much like they are interested in Middle Eastern peoples today. War seems to create a sensationalist fascination with the other and so some attention was given his life in the popular media. Many of the biographies seem to contain details that conflict strongly with Sandoz, but no other researcher seems to have spent the same amount of time both in archives and in the communities. She has a pointed, detailed yet equivocal touch and so I trust her account better than any I have seen. This book (as is common) puts the film to shame.
