It was midday when the Red Shields saw the weary-looking dragoons return with a few captives, and the massive force made ready to leave the body-strewn area. By then, wagons had been loaded with wounded women and children and with four dead and four injured soldiers. Within a short time, the rolling travois were rumbling down the canyon toward the river, three bluecoats with minor wounds riding on horses beside them. The remaining prisoners walked close behind the wooden conveyances, their heads hung in dejection and with some women trying to comfort frightened little ones or assist the aged. Already many vultures were circling overhead, waiting for safety before they swooped down on that tragic site.

War Eagle and his party knew the land scavengers—mainly wolves and coyotes—would be arriving soon to claim their share of the offerings, for the scents of death and blood were in the air. The Red Shields wished they could put the bodies out of the birds’ and creatures’ reach in caves sealed with rocks, but the cunning and determined Harney had posted lookouts on several hills, no doubt to watch for such a deed.

War Eagle said, “Come, Swift Otter, we ride to trail our enemies.”
