Description“When he left the camp he had no idea, he said, how late it was. By the time he approached the wagoners it was perfectly dark; and as he saw them all sitting around their fires with their guns laid at their sides, he thought he might as well give warning of his approach…Up they sprang, wild with terror…and in an instant twenty cocked rifles were leveled at the horrified Tête Rouge.” On View
