“ In broad terms Indian history could be divided into three categories. The early years, encompassing the free period of the Indian people from the beginning to around 1880; the middle transitional years between 1880 to 1940; then the contemporary period, which covers 1940, until today. . .

. . . The story presented in this publication explains the events much better than I ever could, but I do want to address a curious aspect of historical interpretation that can be seen in the Carlisle experience, as well as other associations. “

From the Foreword of this book, by George P. Horse Capture, Sr.; Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Montana; Former Curator, Buffalo Bill Historical Center
