The Pawnees themselves generally only hunt buffalo extensively in the winter when they desert their villages for the purpose.
They are a generous people in every respect.
One example will suffice.
The women of the villages were much taken with Samson, my black man.
They said they were long familiar with the black white man, as they called him, some of whom had lived with them in the past.
They exhorted him, and indeed not him alone, to sport with them in their green corn dance and their gaming, which goes on nearly every night.
He did so with such enthusiasm that he caused Mr. Freedman a certain anxiety.
Yet none of their husbands uttered a word of reproach.
As I wrote the above sitting outside my tent with a fine view across the yellow grasslands, which form overlapping horizontal planes into the distance,
a Pawnee warrior named Tatasuk, a fair Spaniard captured as a child and raised to adulthood as a Pawnee, says he confirmed to Mr. Freeman that the Spanish force dispatched from Santa Fe under command of a man named Melgares is still upon the prairies.
He says also that the river we are exploring forks, but while the right fork will take us to Rocky Mountains,
It will not take us near Santa Fe.
He says that the left fork is longer, but reaches a place known to Indians and Spaniards as El Llano Estacado.
He says this last is a very dangerous place to the unwary or unlucky.
A place, he says, that can confound and confuse.
Your obedient servant, Peter Custis.
January 15, 1807, Natchitoches, Dr. Sibley's home.
My dear President Jefferson, while my letter of appointment instructed me to convey specimens and scientific data to Secretary of War Dearborn, sir, and I attend no disrespect to him, I am aware that the contents of my accounts are intended ultimately for the presidential eye.
So I will direct my remarks most specifically to your concerns, Mr. President, so you may understand fully the nature of the country we have explored, as well as the circumstances about the decision for the route Mr. Freeman concluded we should follow to perform a correct mapping of the Red River and the bounds of Louisiana.
I inquire of your health, sir, as always, as well as that of my old friend, Mr. Lewis.
