Grenville Dodge: “The Indians are now determined to make it a war of extermination, and nothing short of 5,000 men can make it…”

There is no officer listening to me who did not see cruelties in the Civil War.

We were always careful that no cruelties were committed by enlisted men, but whatever was done was by the order of an officer.

I must say this is the first time I ever heard of national honor being sustained by such methods.

It is upheld and maintained today, as it always has been, by the patriotism of our people as represented by our Army in the Civil War, in Cuba, the Philippines, and China.
