is where he had his first fight with the
Pawnee Indians while camped there
as driver Of some loose stock belong

and here his name as an Indian fighter
began. In that day this was consid-

whole west, where more battles were
fought, and more lives lost, than at
any other point along the trail, and
1t has been said that every yard OF
