To the south of our train, not more than half a mile away, we made out a large Indian camp.

Beyond, on the meadow, we could see Indian boys riding hard on their horses.
Then there was the Indian position on the hill to the east.

We managed to climb a low hill so as to look into this position.

Jed and I spent half an hour trying to count them, and concluded, with much guessing, that there must be at least a couple of hundred.

Also, we saw white men with them and doing a great deal of talking.
North-east of our train, not more than four hundred yards from it, we discovered a large camp of whites behind a low rise of ground.
