Mrs Mary Ramsdell in the "Reminiscences" told that 'After getting home, we got the second word about the Inidans; Mose and Jim Johnson coming on a dead run to warn us.
The Indians were coming from the Grande Ronde, they said, so we started for Pilot Rock, Mose and Jim riding along on either side of us."
