Keeler Defends Actions After Cottonwood Affair

Aid de camp Keeler rebuts local reports claiming seventeen citizens were surrounded by Indians and that Perry’s troops refused to move. He states 113 troops were outnumbered yet sent to aid civilians within twenty minutes, risking lives and stores. Morrill’s sworn account is challenged and Keeler exonerates Perry amid conflicting affidavits. Public judgment awaits facts.
