History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. II
On June 23, 1832, there was a Grand Council of the Chiefs of the lodge of Angry Man. On July 5. 1835, Col. Dodge held a council at a point about twenty miles above the forks of the Platte, which was attended by Angry Man, Two Axe, Little Chief;
Mole in the Face, Bloddy Hand, Two Bulls, Big Head or Star. Mole in the Face was chief spokeman, and the years of wandering had been lean ones, so that these Indians wanted land to settle upon "like the Pawnees."
A treaty in 1833 provided for a Pawnee reserve in the Loup river country.
In one of these conferences, Little Moon spoke so self-deprecatory, that it was tinged with irony.
"The white people are all good, there is nothing bad about them."
Little Moon was a chieftain of much importance, and his habitat was near the state line, at the west border of Scotts Bluff county. People of the present generation are familiar with Little Moon Lake which is a pleasant place to spend a few days camping. And the people of a generation ago knew of Little Moon Post-office, at the crossing of the Pony Express on Horse Creek, which site is now ( 1919) owned by L. J. Wyman.
In his reports of 1835, Col. Dodge makes no mention of travel on the trail, but ten years later Col. Kearney tells a different story. The latter also tells of a thousand Indians at Fort Laramie, and he also advised the government against the puchase of the post.
