"A woman of the Paviotso of W. Nevada, commonly called a Paiute, born in 1844 in the vicinity of Humboldt lake, and known after marriage as Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. Her father, Winnemucca, was chief of the band that lived about Humboldt and Pyramid lakes, sometimes spoken of as Winnemucca's band (q. v.) Her grandfather, who was also a chief, accompanied Gen. Fremont into California and was named by this officer 'Captain Truckee,' by which designation he was afterward known to the whites until his death, about 1859."
