Peter Cozzens Quote
The Pawnees did most of the killing at Summit Springs, and they killed without mercy. The Cheyennes expected as much. I do not belittle the Pawnees for their killing of women or children because as far back as any of us could remember the Cheyenne and Sioux slaughtered every male, female, and child they could run across of the Pawnee tribe, said a Dog Soldier survivor. Each tribe hated the other with a deadly passion and savage hearts [that] know only total war. Sherman and Sheridan’s notion of total war paled beside that of the Plains Indians.
