The Rocky Mountain Editorial Excursion ends in Council Bluffs
The travelers recount their prairie fire sighting near Columbus and the illuminated future capital scene, a Pawnee war dance, trades with the Pawnee, and purchases of bow and arrows. They describe Council Bluffs hospitality, a lavish reception, a baronial supper at Pacific House, a wild night of revelry, and the final leg toward home aboard the train with telegraphic delays and collections for staff and services.
