Doc. 23, 30th Cong., 1st Sess., Washington, 1848. Valuable notes on Cheyenne met at Bent's Fort, with remarks on grammar and vocabulary of about 150 words, together with 3 plate portraits. ' With the assistance of Mr. Smith [John S. Smith, q. v.], who trades for the fort, and who speaks the Cheynne [sie] language better, perhaps, than any other white man in the country, I made notes of everything that my red friends communicated. . . .
