The journalistic profession has just cause for pride over the conspicuous bravery that characterized this fighting correspondent. According to Scout Frank Grouard, Finerty importuned him to be permitted to accompany him on every scouting expedition that was organized, but not until the starting of the Sibley party did the correspondent have his wishes gratified.When Finerty asked to accompany the Sibley party, General Crooke warned him that he might get into more trouble than, perhaps, I anticipated. Lieutenant Bourke the asked him what kind of an epitaph I would like him to write for me. It turned out these warnings should have been heeded, as Finerty would find out:Groups of mounted savages appeared on the bluffs north and east of us. Most of them were in full war costume.... My horse stumbled from the shock of the bullet, but recovered its feet almost immediately, and bore me in safety to the edge of the timber, under the rapid Indian fire. I could hear their bullets rattling against the pine tree trunks like hail-stones on the roof of a barn.We could distinctly hear their savage, encouraging yells to each other, and Gruard said that Sioux and Cheyennes were allied in the attacking force, all of whom appeared to be in great glee at the prospect of a scalping entertainment....In describing his arranged meeting with Sitting Bull, Finerty noted that I have followed Sitting Bull around long enough, and now I shall behold, the lion in his den, in earnest....Soon afterward, an Indian mounted on a cream-colored pony, and holding in his hand an eagles wing, which did duty for a fan, spurred in back of the chiefs and stared stolidly, for a minute or so, at me. His hair, parted in the ordinary Sioux fashion, was without a plume. His broad face, with a prominent hooked nose and wide jaws, was destitute of paint. His fierce, half bloodshot eyes gleamed from under brows which displayed large perceptive organs, and, as he sat there on his horse, regarding me with a look which seemed blended of curiosity and insolence...Finerty came within an ace of accompanying the ill-fated Custer command. In fact, had it been left to his own choice, he would probably have followed the fortunes of the gallant leader of the Seventh, and the fate which overtook poor Mark Kellogg, of the St. Paul Press, would have been his also.About the author: John Frederick Finerty (1846 1908) was a U.S. Representative from Illinois. Born in Ireland, Finerty immigrated to the United States in 1864.He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War serving in the New York State Militia.
