Wolf Mountain Moon (2010)
“Here the command established its bivouac across a rich, fertile bottomland where grass grew thick not only for their livestock, but for an abundance of buffalo, elk, antelope, and deer.
One problem with the varying weather, besides the trail becoming soggy for the foot soldiers, was that the Missouri River itself was no longer a solid sheet of ice. Instead the rolling surface of the wide river was pocked with huge, bobbing chunks of ice the size of immense boulders, crashing and crushing agains...t one another with a constant, noisy, grating rumble.
Assessing the situation upon reaching the north bank that Saturday, Miles called for his most trusted subaltern.
“Mr. Baldwin, I’m putting you in charge of constructing a raft suitable for moving the troops across.”
“I’ll move the men and you’ll caulk and float the wagons, General?” Frank inquired.
“That’s right. But we need a raft big enough to move a good number of the troops across at a time.”
“What dimensions do you recommend?”MoreLess
