Quotes
-
Colonel John Templeton : When you've been out here as long as I have, you'll learn that there is no such thing as a peaceful Indian.
Captain Kingsley - Defense Attorney at Court-Martial : Now, Colonel, the dictionary defines a battle as an engagement between two opposing hostile forces. Do you concur in that definition?
Colonel John Templeton : I do.
Captain Kingsley - Defense Attorney at Court-Martial : Would you then define a village of Indians; men, women and children, sleeping peacefully under the protection of a treaty, as an opposing hostile force?
