That is the way a white man remembers a battle. So many soldiers here, so many there. Such a captain here. Such a lieutenant there. This colonel in one place. That major in another. The horses precisely here, the cannon exactly there. But not an Indian. An Indian remembers where his mother fell bayoneted, or his little brother had his skull smashed, or his big sister cried for mercy and was shot in the mouth. Will Henry
About This Quote

The quote by W.H. Hudson says: “That is the way a white man remembers a battle. So many soldiers here, so many there. Such a captain here.

Such a lieutenant there. This colonel in one place. That major in another.

The horses precisely here, the cannon exactly there. But not an Indian. An Indian remembers where his mother fell bayoneted, or his little brother had his skull smashed, or his big sister cried for mercy and was shot in the mouth” And my answer is: No this is not true because no Indian remembers where his mother fell bayoneted or his little brother had his skull smashed or his big sister was crying for mercy and they were shot in the mouth because they did not die there but where he killed them with his own hands by cutting of their head or taking their life it does not matter that is all that matters to him he remembers it and he will tell about it one day when he is old and weak from disease and from hunger and from cold and from everything else that happens to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old and weak from all of the things that happen to a man when he is old
