THE END.

PRINTED BY JOHN HUGHES, 3 THISTLE STREET, EDINBURGH.

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.
