Early histories of the war parroted the prevailing views of the day that white people had a God given right to the land and that native peoples were pagan savages.

In addressing those in attendance he proudly regaled them with a poem in praise of the executions of 38 condemned Dakota hanged 27 years earlier just across the street.
