B. G. Lamme, chief engineer of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company and a prolific inventor. From the American Mathematical Society: Robert Simpson Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institution and an authority on astronomy, geography, and mathematical physics.
A host in himself, was Charles Bent. His voice fairly thundered as he sped along the struggling line of wagons and teams. "Bring on those wagons! Corral! Don't lose your senses, men! We're all right. But corral, corral!" The two fugitives arrived, breathless, their animals sweat-covered and blown. Alas, neither of them was Samuel Lamme, and Samuel Lamme had not appeared.
In the spring of 1829 he started again. The caravan numbered thirty-five wagons and seventy men. He was captain in charge. Under him there were Traders Samuel C. Lamme, William Waldo, and other wagon owners, determined upon making the trip as usual. It would never do to let the Indians close the trail.
<b>SCHEFFER, CAROLINE.</b> The daughter of Ary Lamme and wife of J. B. Scheffer was an artist in the last decades of the eighteenth century, but the special interest connected with her is the fact that she was the mother of Ary and Henry Scheffer. From her artistic standpoint she had an appreciation of what was needed for the benefit of her sons.
"We've lost Lamme!" they shouted. "The Injuns got him, first fire." "Fetch up that cannon. Unlimber," Captain Bent was shouting. It was a small brass cannon, but had been so wrapped to protect it from the sand that the men could scarcely untie the knots. Away galloped Captain Bent, on his split-ear mule, to encourage the skirmishers' line. He had to be everywhere at once.
Trader Lamme and two companions spurred ahead, to find out: a foolish thing to do. They disappeared among the hollows; were gone not half an hour, when on a sudden, distant gun-shots soundly thinly, and back into sight galloped two of the men, racing full tilt, bare-headed.
We put the money in sacks and deposited it with Major Riley, and, leaving the camp, started for Santa Fe with Captain Bent as leader of the traders. We had not proceeded far when our advanced guard met Indians. They turned, and when within two hundred yards of us, one man named Samuel Lamme was killed, his body being completely riddled with arrows.
