Abstract
"At the mouth of the Walla Walla a large band of Indians were encamped.... The men were generally tall, raw-boned and well-dressed having all buffalo robes, deerskin leggings, very white and most of them garnished with porcupine quills. Their shoes were also trimmed and painted red; altogether their appearance indicated wealth. Their voices were strong and masculine and their language differed from any we had heard before. The women wore garments of well dressed deerskin down to their heels, many of them richly garnished with beads (higuas) and other trinkets leggings and shoes similar to those of them men. Their faces were painted red."
