First in line rode General Sheridan, followed by his guests; then the orderlies.

Then came the ambulances, in one of which were carried five greyhounds, brought along to course antelopes and rabbits.
With the ambulance marched a pair of Indian ponies belonging to Lieutenant Hayes, captured during an Indian fight.

These were harnessed to a light wagon, which General Sheridan occasionally used.

These little animals, thirteen hands high, showed more vigor and endurance than any we brought with us.
During our first night in camp the members of the party asked me hundreds of questions about buffaloes and buffalo hunting.

The entire evening was spent in talk about buffaloes, together with stories of the Plains, the chase, and the war, which was then fresh in the minds of all of us.
