We had whipped and destroyed the Cheyenne village of Black Kettle, but only a few miles below his camp were three or four other large villages with thousands of warriors. " I don't laiow what Custer thought, when in the afternoon himdreds of Indians ap- peared on the hills all around us. I was getting pretty well scared. Myself and many of the soldiers thought the worst of the fighting was still ahead of us. " We had almost nothing to eat, our supply-wagons were thirty miles in the rear. Many o...f us had lost our overcoats; the In- WINGED MILLIONS 161 dians got them. We had them piled up in the rear, but the Indians were too much for the guard who had to run to save themselves. *' If we had taken the horses, the warriors from all the villages would have followed us trying to get the horses back. In following us they might have discovered our supply- wagons, before the regiment could again join the guard, and there is no telling what might have happened. " You see, we could not possibly encumber our march with eight hundred ponies, all as wild as deer, and scared at the sight of a white man.
