The Nebraska and Kansas Territory: Ancient Bluff Ruins near Fort Larumie [sic], Nebraska, 1856. View of '...extensive unoccupied territory of the United States...[which] hitherto has been the home of the crafty "Pawnee," the stately and brave "Sioux," and the suitably-named "Snake" tribes of Indians...Now their death warrants are signed, and, if we may credit recent accounts, Uncle Sam will prove a relentless executioner...The fate of the red men is evident. Henceforth they must, willingly or not, resign Buffalo and Elk on the rolling prairie to Yankee farmers...There is little hope for them here. Go which way they may, the land is occupied; and to remain is only to be embroiled in deadly feuds - to be shot down without hesitation and with very little remorse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
