You are friends, and we should offer you at once the calumet of peace, but you have come as foes; as long as you think you have cause to remain so, it would be mean and unworthy of the Pawnees to sue and beg for what perchance they may obtain by their courage. Yet the Comanches and the Pawnees have been friends too long a time to fall upon each other as a starved wolf does upon a wounded buffalo.
He desired to see Satanta, the great Kiowa chief. The colonel's father was among the Indians a great deal while on duty as an army officer, while the young colonel was a small boy. The colonel said he didn't believe that old Satanta would know him. Just before the arrival of the coach in the region of the Indian village, the Comanches and the Pawnees had been having a battle.
You will find Tiguex on the map, somewhere between the Ty-uonyi and the place where the Corn Woman crossed the Rio Grande. Cicuye is on the map as Pecos, in Texas. The Pawnees at this time occupied the country around the Platte River.
Could you imagine Little Sure Shot, the Terror of the Pawnees, drunk or sober, doing an asinine thing like that? Not in ten thousand years, you couldn't. But then we must remember that Little Sure Shot, being a moral dime-novel hero, never indulged in alcoholic beverages under any circumstances.
"Only the Pawnees excel them," was the reply of Lone Bear, who in those words uttered the greatest compliment possible to the warlike tribe which did more than any other to give Kentucky its baptismal name of the Dark and Bloody Ground. "Why is the Shawanoe whom you call Deerfoot journeying toward the hunting grounds of the Pawnees?"
Hard-Heart raised his head, with a loftiness and dignity that even his bonds could not repress, as he answered "Has age blinded my father; or does he see so many Siouxes, that he believes there are no longer any Pawnees?" "Ah! such is mortal vanity and pride!" exclaimed the disappointed old man, in English. "Natur' is as strong in a Red-skin, as in the bosom of a man of white gifts.
It was not safe to stray alone from the camp. Susan smiled: "The Pawnees steal horses, but I never heard anyone say they stole girls." "They steal anything they can get," said the simple young man. "Oh, David," now she was laughing "so they might steal me if they couldn't get a horse, or a blanket, or a side of bacon!
Fort Kearney was the headquarters of Major North and his Pawnees and their duty was to protect the construction forces while at work. As illustrating conditions existing, the following is of interest: A large body of Indians appeared on the scene near Julesburg, Major North and forty of his Pawnees started from Fort Kearney to the scene of the anticipated trouble.
We were anxious, of course, to push on before the cold weather set in, for we knew then that we should have difficulties enough to contend with. We had to be on our guard also against enemies of all sorts red-skin Dacotahs and Pawnees, grizzly bears, rattlesnakes, and wolves; still my companion, from his long experience of their habits, was well able to take precautions against them.
They had halted for that day; the mules were unharnessed, the camp-fires lighted, and the men just about to indulge in their refreshing coffee, when suddenly half a dozen Pawnees, mounted on their ponies, hideously painted and uttering the most demoniacal yells, rushed out of the tall grass on the river-bottom, where they had been ambushed, and swinging their buffalo-robes, attempted to stampede the herd picketed near the camp.
