Stories from the past
After burning the Indian village Hancock moved south to Fort Dodge, where he met a number of chiefs of the Kiowa and Arapaho tribes. They all talked peace and asked for presents. From Fort Dodge Hancock marched to Fort Larned, where he held a council with Satan-ti, the war chief of the Kiowa tribe. Satan-ti was the finest specimen of Indian oratory that I ever listened to. His talk opened with an allusion to the fact that Colonel Leavenworth, agent of the Kiowa tribe, and who sat near him, had misappropriated the goods of the tribe, and had not dealt justly with them.
