"all mounted men dismounted after charging through camp and formed [a] line round the village and shot everything [they] could see. Killed some women in the creek. One Mexican yelled that he would surrender, but in the confusion he was killed. Firing around the village lasted fully two hours."

Hardorff, Washita Memories, pg. 187. |
