The Indians Said The Bones Were Those

We Had Avoided Discovery By The Sioux Scouts, And We Were Confident Of Giving Them A Complete Surprise.

The Indians Kept Increasing In Numbers Until It Was Estimated That We Were Fighting From 800 To 1,000 Of Them.

On Reaching The Place Where The Indians Had Surprised Us, We Found The Bodies Of The Three Men Whom They Had Killed And Scalped, And Literally Cut Into Pieces.

My Great Forte In Killing Buffaloes Was To Get Them Circling By Riding My Horse At The Head Of The Herd And Shooting Their Leaders. Thus The Brutes Behind Were Crowded To The Left, So That They Were Soon Going Round And Round.

Having Secured My Indian Actors, I Started For Baltimore, Where I Organized My Combination, And Which Was The Largest Troupe I Had Yet Had On The Road.
