Note (return) — VI. GENERAL PIKE IN CONTROVERSY WITH GENERAL HINDMAN
Reading edition

The only difference of note was the substitution of the upper Indian country for Fort Smith as a point for headquarters. In the sequel, however, the second set proved superfluous; for the first so aroused Pike's ire that, immediately upon its receipt, he prepared his resignation and sent it to Hindman for transmission to Richmond.436
