   Sioux. 
  There

  few

  was 
  occupied 
  for 
  

   only 
  two 
  years,

  The 
  assault 
  on 
  the 
  Omaha 
  camp 
  here 
  referred 
  to 
  was 
  

   made 
  by 
  the 
  Yankton 
  and 
  Santee 
  on 
  December 
  12, 
  1846. 
  At 
  the 
  

   time 
  of 
  the 
  attack 
  the 
  camp, 
  composed 
  mostly 
  of 
  old 
  men,

   most 
  of 
  the 
  men 
  of 
  the 
  tribe,

  knew 
  nothing 
  of 
  the 
  attack 
  

   until 
  they 
  returned. 
  More 
  than 
  80 
  persons 
  were 
  slain.

  killed

  the

   Sioux 
  in 
  the

  The

  made 
  a 
  charge 
  on 
  the 
  

   Omaha 
  camp 
  when 
  the 
  Omaha 
  were 
  moving.

  Logan 
  in 
  a 
  ravine 
  where 
  he 
  had 
  dismounted 
  to 
  pick 
  

   gooseberries. 
  When 
  he 
  discovered 
  the 
  Sioux 
  he 
  sprang 
  on 
  his 
  horse 
  

   and 
  made 
  for 
  the 
  ford

  rejoin 
  his 
  tribe,

  were 
  on 
  the 
  opposite 
  side 
  

   of

  he 
  was 
  overtaken 
  and 
  killed 
  before 
  he 
  reached 
  the 
  

   ford.
