 Plains Indian History

If I were an Indian , I often think I would greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my people adhered to the free open plains rather than submit to the confined limits of a reservation, there to be the recipient of the blessed benefits of civilization , with its vices thrown in without stint or measure.  Lieutenant- Col George Armstrong Custer  (My life on the Plains ) University of Oklahoma Press.
