We were ready and willing to stay with the Indians as long as they would stay with us.

But they gave it up at last.

We finished our hunt and returned to the Post with plenty of buffalo meat.

Here we received the compliments of General Carr on our little fight.
In a few days orders came from General Sheridan to make a winter campaign in the Canadian River country.

We were to proceed to Fort Lyon on the Arkansas River and fit out for the expedition.
