I knew it meant trouble for us ; they were either after us or our stock. I, there- fore, immediately dismounted, and giving our horses to a couple of men with instructions to keep on the west side of the ridge out of sight and gun shot as much as possible, we took the ridge between Crow Creek and Lone Tree Creek, keeping upon it and holding the Indians away from us as our arms were so far-reaching that when they came too near our best shots would reach them and they soon saw their danger. We ma...de signals for our cavalry, but they did not seem to see them. It was getting along in the afternoon as we worked down this ridge, that I began to discover we were on an apparently very fine approach to the Black Hills, and one of the guides has stated that I said: "If we saved our scalps I believed we had found a railroad line over the moun- tains. " About 4 o'clock, the Indians were preparing to take the ridge in our front, the cavalry now saw our signals and soon came to our rescue, and when we reached the valley I was satisfied that the ridge we had followed was one which we could climb with a maximum grade within our charter and with comparatively light work.
