Good Indian

There is a saying–and if it is not purely Western, it is at least purely American–that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. In the very teeth of that, and in spite of tho fact that he was neither very good, nor an Indian–nor in any sense dead – men called Grant Imsen Good Indian to his face; and if he resented the title, his resentment was never made manifest–perhaps because he had grown up with the name.
