"Sworn to and subscribed before me this date above written.--his -- PE-SHESH-WON -- mark. "R.B. Mitchell, Indian Sub-agent." N.B.: Mosquitoe Creek bridge was southeast of present day Council Bluffs where that creek enters the Missouri river flood plain...In the 1930's, I think I remember a community there called "Carterville"......Hunsaker's ferry was in present day Fremont county about two miles above Hamburg, Iowa. The early postoffice called "Austin" was just to the west of the Hunsaker ferry over the Nishnabotna. By this date, I think Archibald Argyle had purchased it from the Hunsakers....W.F.
