There are several discrepancies between the above account and t that of the official records. The following were the treaties made between the U.S. and the the Kansas: - 1815, Oct. 28. Vol. 7, p.137. Ninian Edwards and Auguste Choteau, Commissioners for the U. S. No money paid to the Indians. 1825, June 3. Vol. 7, p. 244. At S. Louis. Wm. Clark acting for the U. S. 3500 a year, for twenty years promised. Hogs, cattle, etc., and 1824, Aug. 16. Vol. 7, p. 270. At the Methodist mission (among the Kansas). # 1846, Jan. 14. Vol 9, p. 342, 202,000 promised the Kansas, on account of their consent to sell the eastern half of their territory. 1859, Oct. 5. Vol 12, p. 1111. At the Kansas Agency. 1862, Mar. "18." Vol. 12, p. 1211. At the Kansas Agency. No record of a treaty made with three chiefs, or with any number of chiefs at Washington, D. C., can be found!" Additionally, Dorsey summarizes the events depicted in the story as follows: "Kansas R. (month) saw Big Knives, before 1798 (?). Up Mo. R. (1 season) fought Cheyennes, 1798 (?). Down Mo. To mouth of Kansas R. (1 season), 1807 (?) 1800 (?), Big Knives came, 1801 (?), 1808 (?). 1804 were on Kansas R. in 2 villages after leaving the Mo. R., Lewis and Clark. Up the Kansas R. 6 or 7 seasons at mouth of Wakarusa Creek, Big Knives came, 1811 (?) or 1808 (?). Up to Topeka (7 or 8 seasons) Big Knives came (1815). Waqube-k'iⁿ's father saw them. No money given (1815, Aug. Choteau). Up the R. to Wanindje hü, 20 seasons in all, then Putewata, 18 seasons later Big Knives told of Washington. Then 12 chiefs into Washington, 1825 – hogs, cattle, horses, etc. (Gov. Clark, at St. Louis ?)." Fifth text entered, March 2006. Rankin enters the first 17 sentences. -jtm
