I accompanied Lieutenant Brady, who commanded, and we had a running fight with the Indians, lasting several hours.

We captured several head of their horses and most of their lodges.

At night we returned to the command, which by this time had crossed the creek on the beaver dam.
We scouted for several days along the river, and had two or three lively skirmishes.

Finally our supplies began to run low, and General Carr gave orders to return to Fort Wallace, which we reached three days afterwards, and where we remained several days.
While the regiment was waiting here for orders, I spent most of the time in hunting buffaloes, and one day while I was out with a small party, we were "jumped" by about fifty Indians.

We had a severe fight of at least an hour, when we succeeded in driving the enemy.
