26. — Baby Tracks. 



About twenty miles north of Plenty-Coup's Camp, on Pry or Creek, 

 is a spring with cliffs surrounding it, and around the spring proper the 

 ground is level, and upon this level ground, it is said that there were 

 baby tracks. 



It was the custom many years ago (and to a limited extent, now) 

 for married women who were barren and wished to become mothers, 

 to go to this spring and take with them a pair of baby moccasins and 

 pray that they might be blessed with a child.
