60 Sioux at a disadvantage owing to the restriction of the range of buffalo and the growth of transportation facilities brought about the extension of the railroads. Hence outbreaks were more or less spasmodic and never involved the entire body of the Sioux. But no such conditions obtained in the Southwest. In this region, during Grant s term of office, campaigns against the Kiowas, Comanches, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, and Apaches were begun in 1874. It was two years before these tribes were report...ed by the Interior Department to be under full control. 1 In any study of the relation of the United States with the hostile tribes during Grant s administration the records are at the same time so voluminous and yet, along certain lines, so incomplete, frequently so biased, and often so revolting in their detail of the campaigns, that it is especially difficult to arrive at any unprejudiced conclusions. Nevertheless, three facts become almost at once apparent and, with further study, increasingly clear: First, that the extent of Indian hostilities was affected much more appreciably by the location of the Indians in relation to the striking power of the troops on the frontier than by any " policy " advanced by the administration.
