Recalled by one of the aides, the scouts1 had slowly ridden back, the Delawares especially being reluctant to leave the fore2. As they passed, General Custer called out, to Wild Bill:
“Is it a fight, Bill?”
“Looks peculiar,” answered Wild Bill, jogging on. He was not a man of many words. But California Joe neglected no opportunity to talk, and obligingly pausing, in front of the cavalry3, from his mule4 he took up the conversation.
“If we do fight it’s goin’ to be the gol-durndest fracas5 ever you got into. Those Injuns seem to think they can whip the hull6 Yewnited States army. An Injun’ll beat a white man runnin’, every time, so I ’spect our best holt is fittin’; but marcy on us, look at ’em! Thar ain’t ’nough of us to go half round. It’s a big thing, I tell ’ee, an’ if we lick those varmints we got to get up an’ dust. Mebbe it won’t be fittin’; mebbe it’ll be jest wipin’ ’em out. But they got a powerful lot o’ weepons, furnished ’em by the Injun department to kill soldiers with. See those rifles, will[90] ye? They’ll outshoot these hyar sawed-off carbines o’ yourn. Well, reckon I’ll jine the infantry7,” and still maundering on California Joe leisurely8 rode through an interval9, and posted himself elsewhere. His voice, amiably10 addressing all around him, never ceased; but nobody longer paid attention to him. The crisis was too acute, when two such lines, of the red and of the white, in battle array faced one another.
