In the spring, the Sioux got together near the Tongue River. It was one of the greatest camps of the Sioux that I ever saw. We had decided to fight the white soldiers until no warrior should be left. We crossed the Tongue River to the Little Big Horn.
I was eating my food one day when suddenly the Long-Haired Soldier Chief called George Custer began to attack us. It was a great surprise.
I heard a Sioux war cry. I saw a warrior riding his horse at top speed giving the warning as he came. Then we heard the sound of soldiers' guns. I seized my gun, my bow and arrows and my stone war club. As I was about to go join the fight, I saw a group of soldiers near us at the edge of a long line of cliffs across the small river.
