LINCOLN RECEIVES A DELEGATION OF PLAINS INDIANS
On March 27, 1863, Lincoln received chiefs of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, Apache, and other Western tribes in the East Room and promised to maintain peace "with all our red brethren."
Collection of Professor and Mrs. Gabor S. Boritt, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
If the Indian chiefs were not entirely rea.s.sured by Lincoln's promise, it was perhaps because they remembered that in the previous year General John Pope had ruthlessly put down an insurrection among the Sioux in Minnesota.
