See Parkman's "Oregon Trail." In 1884 I myself met two Delawares hunting alone, just north of the Black Hills.

They were returning from a trip to the Rocky Mountains.

I could not but admire their strong, manly forms, and the disdainful resolution with which they had hunted and travelled for so many hundred miles, in defiance of the white frontiersmen and of the wild native tribes as well.

I think they were in more danger from the latter than the former, but they seemed perfectly confident of their ability to hold their own against both.
