This rude sketch I sent to George Bent to have him indicate the position of the various Indian "Soldier societies" at the time of the charge of Lieut. Collins and his men at Platte Bridge. (Bent's writing is in ink, as follows) – 1. an X mark "Casper Collins" indicating the spot where Collins and his men were killed. 2. "Dog Soldiers, this band made first charge" marked south of Collins. (Should be further west—this band seems to have charged east, not north. 3. Behind the bluffs to the north: "Crooked Lances Bow Strings, Foxes, Chiefs." 4. to the east, at the mouth of a stream on which the Indians had their camp, "Foolish Dogs." The broken lines and arrows-points indicate the direction of the Indian charge. It will be seen that since the Dog soldiers charged east, Bent has either located Collins too far west along the road or has put the Dog Soldiers too far east. George E. Hyde
