The Only Good Indian is a Dead Indian?

Question:

The Only Good Indian is a Dead Indian?

Did John Wayne really say this or anyother other movie star?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: After the American Civil War, during America's expansion policies in 1868, Union General Phil Sheridan believed that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian."
