A Man Who Would Not

War Can Be Avoided, And It Ought To Be Avoided. I Want No War.

When I Think Of Our Condition, My Heart Is Heavy. I See Men Of My Own Race Treated As Outlaws And Driven From Country To Country, Or Shot Down Like Animals.

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.

I Would Have Given My Own Life If I Could Have Undone The Killing Of White Men By My People.

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