Chapter 15

While Ma, Sgt. Williams, Sue and them dogs palavered over what had just happened, I was ‘informed’ to ready an area for ‘our’ tribe to locate to. No longer surprised by anything that was to happen I ‘enlisted’ Brave Bear and He Who Laughs Loud to that task. A man could get used to doing all this work if he had good help. Water, shade and grassy fields were plentiful around the ranch, We had one of them General’s tents so that was used as training for a dozen of the drovers to learn about setting them up, right quick. Eight drovers and two regular ranch hands rode out to show everyone where to set up. Four others drove a wagon load of fresh supplies and those general’s tents to the area just outside the ranch proper that had water and grassy plains for horses and cattle to graze.
