The body of the deceased was carried in an ambulaiice as a hearse, and covered with a large American flag. The ambulance was pre- ceded by Captain Hamilton's squadron, commanded by Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel T. B. Weir, and was followed by his horse, covered with a mourning LIFE OX THE PLAINS. 183 sheet and bearing on the saddle the same in which Captain Hamilton waa seated when he received his death wound the sabre and belt and the reversed top-boots of the deceased. The pall-bearers were Majo...r-General Sheridan, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonels J. Schuyler Crosby, W. W. Cook, and T. W. Cus- ter. Brevet Major W. W. Beebe, Lieutenant Joseph Hall, arid myself.
Our sojourn at Camp Supply was to be brief. We arrived there on the 2d of December, and in less than one week we were to be in the saddle with our numbers more than doubled by reinforcements, and again wending our way southward over the route we had so lately passed over.
Before setting out on the last expedition, I had stated to the officers in a casual manner that all parties engaged in the conduct of the contemplated campaign against the Indians must reconcile themselves in advance no mat- ter how the expedition might result to becoming the recipients of censure and unbounded criticism ; that if we failed to engage and whip the Indians labor as we might to accomplish this the people in the West, particularly along and near the frontier, those who had been victims of the assaults made by Indians, would denounce us in unmeasured terms as being inefficient or luke- warm in the performance of our duty ; whereas if we should find and punish the Indians as they deserved, a wail would rise up from the horrified humani- tarians throughout the country, and we would be accused of attacking and kill- ing friendly and defenceless Indians.
