“One of their number directed attention to the top of a bluff, and there stood a figure in white perfectly motionless. Suddenly, one of them cried out in Sioux, 'It's Sitting Bull.' The phantom suddenly commenced waving an arm, as if motioning them to follow, and with the speed of a bird glided from hilltop to hilltop, finally disappearing in the direction of the Bad Lands." The New York Times observed that "only one interpretation could be given this ghostly visitation. Sitting Bull is thus identified as the....long danced-for Messiah.”
