Somewhere along the way an old man wanted to go check on his horses. In the end he was half blind. He woke up and he rode across and they heard him, and his horse moving across, moved across over that way. He was moved right into one of the soldiers’ positions, they were scattered all through here now . . . all through this area, all the soldiers that were there. He moved into the volunteer section and they shot at him and killed him.

The soldiers then waded across the water and attacked the village. They were on foot, they were infantry, these were not calvary, and they were infantry. They moved across the river in orders of the day by colonel Gibbon at the time was to shoot low into the tepees, shoot low, three volleys move, three volleys move. The soldiers did very well, that’s exactly what they did, and they shot low into the tepees.

Many of the people had no idea what hit them. It is just like Josiah Red Wolf mentioned, it was like rain was falling on the tent, the bullets were hitting that hard. The people were scattered, again, it was like chaos . . . terror . . . took place, they knew they were under attack. They scattered every which way through this location, soldiers came in there again just shooting, just shooting, and shooting.
