Diary of Private Lewis C. Paxson, Monday, March 16, 1863

Wrote a letter to father. Train went below. Norton and I went to Slabtown after Jos. Demarais, interpreter, to go to Georgetown. My skull which I sent to father was Brave Buffalo, of Standing Eagle Red Feather's tribe. There was ball playing upon the west camp.
