An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill (Colonel W. F. Cody)

CHAPTER VI
43/57

After a survey of our work we found we had killed about one hundred and forty Indians and captured one hundred and twenty squaws and papooses, two hundred lodges, and eight hundred horses and mules.
General Carr ordered that all the tepees, lodges, buffalo robes, camp equipage, and provisions, including a large quantity of buffalo meat, should be gathered and burned.

Mrs.Alerdice, the murdered Swedish captive, was buried.

Captain Kane read the burial service, as we had no chaplain with us.

While this was going on, the Sioux warriors recovered from their panic and came back to give us battle.

All around the attack a fight began.
