re: Hartsuff writes to Florence at boarding school and tells her about the preparations for war which began, without warning, on Sunday, 11/24 with a sudden call to arms. Hartsuff's unit, plus three artillery batteries have been put on standby near the reservation. Most of the trouble, in his opinion, can be traced to "a Messiah dance" [the Ghost Dance] that has taken root particularly among the Sioux. Written at the Pine Ridge Indian Agency
