CHAPTER IX
25/29

He met the Comanche chiefs in council, and so represented to them the blessings of peace and the horrors of war, that they consented to send a deputation, to effect if possible, an amicable settlement of the difficulty.

He was the friend of both parties.

He was alike regarded by both as eminent for his wisdom and his sense of justice.

He met the Sioux chiefs in council.

Carson returned to the Comanches with this announcement, and persuaded them to accede to the terms.
