1893 HIST: Manuscript NW Collection, U of WA Lib, subm by Sarah McAllister Hartman, written 20 Feb 1893, pg 35: James leaving to try to make peace with Chief Lesche, "leaving mother in care of my oldest brother (George) and (adopted Indian) Chipwaleon.
Pg 38, "There was a commotion outside. From our elevated seat saw bro George at the barn gate; the Indians had stopped him, pressing close so could not advance. Water was dripping from his clothes & horse. Stood in stirrups & talked to the Indians. Chipwaleon made way to bro...still parleying, boys pressed their way thru the crowd of Indians to front gate. Stopped again. (much noise,warring whoops, Indians inside taking things, planning to destory family)
Pg 50: "...Clipwaleon and George followed father, overtaking him at Vaughn's Prairie...after father killed, Chipwaleon rode to mother to bring terrible news that caused mother to scream and faint that terrible, terrible morning!" "...my bro, boy of 17, although shot quite bad in the face, a portion of his lip being carried away and a bad abrasion just above the temple, he volunteered to go get help. Capt said to him, "do you understand there is a 1000 chances to 1 that you never will get through?" "I do sire" was the reply,"I can go better than anyone else. I speak their language, know all their tricks, and I want to go to my mother, as I fear there is something wrong with father. He disguised himself as an Indian and lying on his stomach, crawled to where their horses were hidden but he couldn't see one of them. He remembered the Capt had tied his animal in a slough, so he crawled there... leading the horse a long way before he dared mount it to go for assistance, he crept to the woods.... met 2 Indians on road...Indians grabbed horse, Geo struck them down with rifle and kept on course. He arrived home a short time after Clipwaleaon, to find us all held
prisoners by the Indians."
Pg 6 (typed): Father and older brother George, only 17, joined Co I, Puget Sound Volunteers." After James & others ambushed, pg 7: "3-4 men were hurt but none killed. My brother was shot... on way to get help, Indian sprang forward... my bro converted him into a "good Indian". Arriving at home, my bro found us surrounded by Indians."
