INTRODUCTION. 



Lieutenant Updegraff, which, with the constant guard I 

 deemed it necessary to keep over our animals in a country 

 where the Indians manifested a disposition by no means 

 friendly towards us, made his varied duties laborious, and it 

 gives me pleasure to bear testimony to the efficient manner 

 in which he performed them.
