Note 10 — Chapter XVI · [1] FIRST STAY AT FORT UNION, FROM JUNE 24TH TO JULY 6TH [1833]

Catlin, North American Indians, i, pp. 56, 57, gives an account of the reception of these Indians on their return from Washington (1832). The stories of American sights at first created a sensation among the tribesmen, but they soon began to doubt their authenticity, and set down their narrator as a liar and impostor. "General Jackson" killed himself the year after his return, partly because of illness. Mc Kenzie had his remains interred at Fort Union. See Larpenteur's Journal, ii, pp. 412-415.—Ed.
