Indians in western newspapers(1965-1985)

 In the 1870's there was a taboo surrounding the Indian culture. On March 1, 1872, The Las Vegas Gazette wrote a controversial paper on the use of indians as soldiers. It is visible that this was a very liberal essay with progressive ideals for the future of Indians. The writer of the main article suggests that the brave culture and honor that indians have would make them ideal for war. He believed that the issues between groups of indians could be resolved if they were grouped together. Looking at it today, it would be considered racist, or politically incorrect, however I believe that at the time this would be seen as a radical idea probably rejected my the populous.
