英语词汇only good indian is a dead indian的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

only good Indian is a dead Indian. General Phil Sheridan is credited by Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations with this prejudicial remark so often quoted in old western movies. But Sheridan said, “The only good Indians I ever saw were dead,” which is a condensation of the words of the originator of the slander, Montana congressman James Cavanaugh, who earlier said: “I have never in my life seen a good Indian . . . except when I have seen a dead Indian.” Which kind of ruins the old story about Sheridan making the remark at Fort Cobb, Indian Territory, in 1869 after the Comanche chief Toch-a-way (“Turtle Dove”) was presented to him. Chief Toch-a-way reportedly said: “Me Toch-a-way, me good Indian.” Sheridan reportedly replied: “The only good Indians I ever saw were dead.”
