Affairs had moved smoothly during my absence. The bracing air of Iowa had invigorated my system, which seemed like breaking down, in that southern clime, with malaria and the mental strain of trying to properly control those restless, raiding Indians. When I took charge of the agency, in 1869, there were under my charge about two thousand five hundred Comanches, nineteen hundred Kiowas, five hundred Apaches, and twelve hundred of the "Wichita and affiliated bands." The latter were partially civilized, and were not addicted to raiding. They cultivated small sections of ground near the timber, and planted corn, beans, pumpkins, squashes, etc. General Hazen had some ground plowed for them before I first reached the agency, and I had more plowed and fenced, and they were ready to cultivate it.

Excerpt from Our Red Brothers: And the Peace Policy of President Ulysses S. Grant The prime motive for writing this volume has been to record some important items of history in connection with the Indians and the overruling providence of God, and to show that "The Peace Policy" in dealing with the Indians, which commenced in 1869, has proved a great blessing to them, to the government, and to people of the nation. If the volume proves to be the means of causing greater interest in the welfare of the Indians from a religious, literary and political standpoint, it will accomplish its purpose. May God bless it to that end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
