Item description from seller

"The afternoon sun shone gently down on a thousand troopers under the command of Brigadier General William Harney, as he rested his black horse on the dry rise over-looking Nebraska's Blue Water Creek. There was the camp of peaceful Brule Sioux, under the leadership of Little Thunder. Harney nodded to Major Rowell mounted beside him and unsheathed his saber as he gazed down at the tepees huddled about the water-bank, watched young and old squaws bathing in the warm creek, children playing on the hot sands, and warriors sunning themselves. These people had been ordered to move, and they had paid no heed to General Mitchell Corey's order. Now Corey had given another order. It would be a massacre, Major Rowell pro-tested, and the men had no heart for slaughtering unarmed, peaceful Indians. Harney told the major bluntly that he would be held responsible for any man who refused to carry out orders. He dropped his saber to his side and called out, "Ride them down! Kill every last one of them!" THIS book still has it's original card and sticker from the Young Men's Library Association in Ware, Massachusetts. The book entry date was May 1, 1964.
