Armed as this expedition is, officered as it is, no body of Indians likely to be brought to bear on it, could seriously embarrass it."
- North Dakota, a place on the frontier, had full confidence in Custer's ability. Praising his command and his treatment of his men, saying he is "ever thoughtful of the interests of his men"
