“A party, after a little delay, was made up
and returned to the place where the fight took
place, and there they found Knox’s body, and
the Indians, contrary to their usual custom, had
not mutilated it in the least, but had taken a
clean pocket-handkerchief from Knox’s pocket
and carefully spread it over his face, and had
fastened it there by putting a small stone on
each corner of it to hold it in its place and keep
the sun from the dead man’s face. That was
their tribute to the sand in Knox. Seventy empty
shells were found that had been emptied from
Knox’s Winchester, and one of the raiding In-
dians afterward said that their party numbered
forty-two, and that Knox had killed seven of
them.”
