re: Hartsuff reports on various visit within the Pine Ridge reservation including a call on the Agency Doctor -- "a full-blooded Sioux, . . . a full graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard College, of course speaks English perfectly is bright & polished in his manner & deportment as any young man in polite society" - and the local Episcopal minister ("an educated half-breed") and his wife. Hartsuff also makes reference to a new "messiah religion" among the Sioux and Utes. Although he doesn't know what it is called, he is referring to the Ghost Dance religion. Written at the Pine Ridge Indian Agency
