Encumbered as our army is with baggage-wag- gons and artillery, an Indian chief can move his whole com- munity farther in one day than our soldiers can follow them in three. JAMES P. BECKWOUBTH. 197 When our victorious celebration was over, I started on a small trading expedition to the Snake Indians. I had received an invitation from their chief to trade among them, and I selected eight warriors to accompany me. On arriving at their village, I found that the Utahs had joined them, and a great ...number of them were thronging the village. Knowing that the Utahs and Crows were deadly enemies, I sedulously watched their movements, and very speedily felt distrust for the safety of myself and party, as the whole camp savoured strongly of treachery. I mustered my little party around me, and found them without guns. On inquiring the cause, they in- formed me they had traded them away for horses. I suppose my looks expressed my disapprobation. Mistaking me, they said there was yet one fine horse left, which I could have at the price of my gun.
