First time I ever seen a hoss do that.
"Charlie Reynolds, he was ahead, an' he come back an' had a pow-wow with th' Old Man an' Reno an' Benteen, an' we seen 'em workin' th' field glasses overtime.

'Course, we didn't know what was bein' said, or what was goin' on.

All we c'd see was that they was mighty excited like.

All except Charlie.

He musta had his say an' then stopped--Injun like.
'Cause Charlie, he was just a white Injun.
"I got Lieutenant Hodgson to let me have a peep through his glasses.
After a ride like that, in a Injun country, a regular c'n be quite on speakin' terms with his officers, an' when I looked through them glasses what I seed didn't mean much t' me.
