Excerpt from Western Frontier: Correspondence on the Subject of the Protection of the Western Frontier, Presented to the House of Representatives by Mr. Harrison, of Missouri; February 14, 1838
It is the intention of the Government to make and keep peace'he tween the' tribes and these wild original inhabitants of the country this is correct, also, indeed, humanity demands it, because they would, it permitted to carry on war among themselves, not only cut to pieces and destroy each other, but the property of our own citizens would be en dangered likewise. It should be well remembered, however, by the great and Wise men of our nation, that so soon as peace and good will is established between what I call the tame and the wild Indians, they will form combinations together and fall on our helpless frontier people, knife and tomahawk in hand'; and, when once the fray commences, there is no knowmg when or where it may end.
