some dark object, which at that dis
lance looked like a dead crow. He
proceeded to our corral, and when
I reached there I found great ex-
citement prevailing, particularly
among the women, there being twelve
or fifteen families with women and
children included in our train. The
thing which the man had found out
in the pine scrub was the scalp of
a white man; he had brought it with
him to the camp, and instead of re-
porting it to the captain, thoughtless-
ly showed it before the women and
children, who were now in a state
of panic and terror. We found here
other suggestive signs of the passage
of Captain T~ownsend's train. We
were corraled on the very spot on
which he had camped, and noticed
something that We aid not seer at
any of his former encampments on
the route. From a point on the river
above his corral, and extending in
a sem1-circle completely around it to
the river below, there was a band
of several feet in width where the

wagon train. AS I strolled along
over this flat, approaching the spot
where the wagons were already get
ting into corral, my attention was
attracted to a number of arrows,
tipped with iron, scattered around
in the grass. I noticed perhaps a
dozen of them at one point in a com
paratively small space. This itself
at once suggested some unusual con-
dition; for such iron was not plenti-
full enough among the Indians to be
thrown away in this fashion; the tips
looked as if they might have been
made from the iron hoops from bar
rels or pals, and much labor (of
which Indians are not fond) had
been necessary, especially by the In
dams primitive means, to get them
into shape. Such iron tipped arrows
were greatly priced by the Indians,
and would not have been thus aban-
doned except under the stress of some
necessity.
While 1 was observing these ar
rows, l noticed one of our men who
was somewhat in advance of me, pick
from the branches of a scrub pine

facts which he gave me, particularly
as u relations were such that there
would not have been any occasion OF
disposition on his part to misrep-
resent anything to me. But further
more, in the summer of 1911, forty
seven years after the battle, it was
my good fortune to meet one of the
survivors of this battle in the per-
son of Mrs. w. j. Beall, Of Bozeman,
Montana. Mrs. Beall is a woman with
a good memory; naturally such an
event had made a deep impression on
her mind; and she had good recol-
lections Of the details Of the affair.
/ had, prior to meeting Mrs. Beall,
already drafted the account of the
battle, and after comparing notes, so
to speak, with her, I found that her
version of the engagement agreed
very closely with that given me by
Gibboney shortly after the battle, and
such discrepancies as arose were
largely those relating to minor de-
tails, as would naturally be expected
considering the different viewpoints
of the two persons. Mrs. Beall has,
however, been of great assistance to
me in supplying additional details in
the matter.
1t appears Townsend's train had
reached Powder river on July 8, and
had camped a few days in order to
rest and recuperate the horses and
cattle, the ONE in the train avail
ing themselves of the opportunity
of baking bread, putting out the fam
lily wash, etc. Preparations we're
made to continue the course on the
morning of July 8, proceeding by the
Bozeman trail which had been fol-
lowed up to this point; that is, to
advance through the ravine between
the hills on the n%ortherly bank of
the river and the other hill further
north. Orders we're issued on the
evening of the 9Th that the train
would make a short march that even
and form a new camp after dark.
This was deemed as a precautionary
to prevent an attack from
hostile Indians during the night
This move was made at the request
Captain Townsend's two guides or
pilots, Michael Boulier and John
Richards. Now in this train were
TWO brothers, and with them they
lad a COW that could not be found
when the camp moved that night. On I
he morning of the 9Th, the one I
said, II will go back to our ]
amp of last evening and bring up t

grass had been cut Cor %shoveled)
away.
Just at the lower end where the
corral had been there were a few
good-sized cottonwood trees; and
here we found a written explanation
of these conditions just mentioned.
One OF Townsend's men had blazed
a surface On one of the trees On
which was written: Captain Towns
end had a fight here with the Ind
ians, July 9, 1864" or words to this
Effect am giving the inscription
from memory.
AS mentioned, Townsend had de-
parted here from the Bozeman trail
and kept along the river, fording and
recording, until he struck the trail
further up, and we followed his
course also. When we had proceed
ed a few miles up the river the fol-
lowing morning (July 23) we came
upon the graves of three of Towns
ends men. Their friends had placed
at the graves headmarks made from
boards taken from the wagon train
and had inscribed one Frank Hudd-
meyer" another had the name of "a.
Warren of Missouri" killed by the
Indians on the 9th inst; the third
grave I do not recollect. These
graves had been opened up, and the
remains of these men lay on the
ground close by. These men Coffin
bury re-buried. The belief Of the
men in Coffinbury's train was that
the wolves had dug up the bodies.
1 have now briefly mentioned what
came under my personal observa-
tion when we reached this place less
than two weeks after Captain Towns
ends train had passed. l have never
seen a printed account of this battle
with the Indians; and l will now give
the details of the affair as given to
me within a few months after the
incident by III of the participants,
George Gibboney. Gibboney was a
member of the Townsend train and
ON to Virginia City. But
he returned in the spring of 1866 to
gulch, when l then was
engaged in gold mining; we became
as partners in mining OPP
erations; I came to know him we'll,
and as he was an intelligent, honest
and trustworthy fellow, l have full

The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-03-01

The north side of the Powder river
from the junction of Sand Cor Dry
creek to this junction of the South
fork, and what l have called the West
fork, is level river bottom land, or
a flat" what l suppose would be
described by biologists as an "allu-
vial bottom" varying in width gen.
orally from thirty to fifty rods. The
river itself was at the south edge OF
this flat; and at the northerly edge
there arose hills, the tops of which
were we'll covered with pine. The
flat itself was almost free of trees,
except here and there a scrub pine
and a few good sized cOttonwOods
near the place we were in corral
above the junction with the South
fork; the flat was covered with a
hardy growth of grass at the time.
Just above the junction with the
South fork this flat was occupied, so
to speak, by a high knoll or ridge
probably a mile in length. This
knoll or ridge did not represent a
swerving in of the other hills refer
red to as being at the northerly edge
of the flat, but was a separate ele-
walton standing rather by itself. The
result was that the northerly slope
of this knoll or ridge and the south
er1y slope of the other hill tended
to form at their bases a narrow val
ley or ravine between these two ele-
vations; and this ravine terminated
the western end of the river flat.
The ridge next to the river came so
close to the river bank as not to leave
a good natural wagon route between
tn river and the foot of the ridge;
and Bozeman, in laying out his trail,
had been obliged to keep away from
the river; and he selected his route
through the ravine between the two
ridges.
The place we had now selected for
a corral was the same spot SO used by
Captain Townsend, but we discovered
that at this point Captain Townsend
had abandoned the Bozeman trail.
He had not taken the route through
the ~ravine, but had taken a course
between the ridge and the river for
a short distance, then forded to the
south bank, kept on the south side
until past the obstruction of this
knoll, and then reforded to the north
bank, striking the Bozeman trail
west or northwest of the ridge. We
did not understand at that time why
should have made this
change in the route which he had
been following; but assuming that
there must have been some good rea-
son for it, our own train did like
wise, following townsend at this point
than the Bozeman trail. That
did have good reasons for
making the change, will appear later.
My immediate personal party in
our own train had one wagon with
three yoke of cattle; and as there
were five in Jul party, W. took al
turns in charge of the team,
SO that two of us were relieved of
such work every day. Usually those
of us who were free for the day
proceed at our leisure a little
ahead of or to the sides of the train,
hunting for game, 0 r perhaps pros
pecting for signs of gold. When we
the Powder river it was my
lay off duty and I was with our
guard, following at the rear of the
