Gen. Philip Henry Sheridan's Civil War Mustache

Philip Henry Sheridan is often said to be the person who said, "The only good Indian is a dead indian". Wikipedia states a different story:

There is an anecdote told concerning Sheridan during his campaign against the
Indians. Comanche Chief Tosawi, or Silver Knife, reputedly told Sheridan in 1869, "Me Tosawi. Me good Indian," to which Sheridan is said to have replied, "The only good Indians I ever saw were dead."[46]

This was then misquoted as "The only good Indian is a dead Indian". Sheridan later denied he had made the statement to Tosawi. Earlier that year, on May 28, Rep. James M. Cavanaugh said in the House, "I have never seen in my life a good Indian ... except when I have seen a dead Indian." That remark may have been mistakenly attributed to Sheridan.
