THE END.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] In accordance with this suggestion, the name was changed to Brand. The mountaineers, it seems, are more sensitive to type than to tomahawks; and poor Ruxton, who always contemplated another expedition among them, would sometimes jestingly speculate upon his reception, should they learn that he had shown them up in print.
[2] Killed, or died. Both terms adapted from the Indian figurative language.
[3] Killed, or died. Both terms adapted from the Indian figurative language.
[4] The Mexicans are called “Spaniards” or “Greasers” (from their greasy appearance) by the Western people.
[5] Bent's Indian trading fort on the Arkansa.
[6] Meaning—if that's what you mean. The “stick” is tied to the beaver trap by a string; and, floating on the water, points out its position, should a beaver have carried it away.
[7] Scalped.
