Hat with Bullet Hole Marks Hartman Incident
A hat Hartman fired from the Indian’s head bore a bullet hole. A night search party, mistaking them for Indians, passed nearby and left quietly. They later regrouped with Hartman’s group, and the hack delivery arrived to cheers. The leg wound was not severe and healed, but the foot remained crippled for months.
