Volume 2, Page 458:

"Mounting his horse, he rode boldly into the Indian village. About thirty
chiefs were holding council. [General George B.] McClellan was led into
the circle, and placed at the right hand of Saltese. He was familiar with
the Chinook jargon, and could understand every word spoken in the council.
Saltese made known the grievance of the tribes. Two Indians had been
captured by a party of white pioneers and hanged for theft. Retaliation
for this outrage seemed imperative."
