That may mean that the wagons were attacked after Fort Atkinson was abandoned. If they left late summer, it would take some time to travel this far. 125 wagons is a pretty good size group of wagons, livestock and people. Maybe they moved pretty slow?

BTW, the only place the sft crossed the cimarron river was in OKLA. just north and a bit east of Boise City.
