"I am old, it is true; but not old enough to fail to see things as they are, and even, as you say, if I am now just an old fool, I still would prefer a hundred times to be a honest red fool than a thieving white scamp like you."


White Shield in 1867 refused to sign at the agency for goods not received by his people. His agent threatened him with jail but White Shield was not intimidated.

From the novel "I have Spoken" (American History Through the Voices of the Indian),
