Moving On

"...the savages in plain view below us...I couldn't keep my eyes off of them and they were a hundred souls if they were one...we just went on.
...
"We sat around in the dark, no one spoke a word. When the judge got back he and Glanton whispered among themselves and then we moved on.
...
"The judge. We left him at a high pass, a little clearwater creek. Him and one of the Delawares. He told us to circle the mountain and to return to that place in forty-eight hours...We went on.
...
"We went down the mountain with no scouts, nothin. Just straight out. We were dead for sleep. It was dark when we reached the plain and we grouped and took a headcount and then we rode out."
