The reported source of the item (The Journal of James W. Nichols) states that Nichols was not a member of Jack Hays' Rangers until 1842. He could not have taken part in the alleged fight reported to have occurred in February of 1841. This fight is also not supported by contemporary records and is likely a confused recollection of other actions by Hays' Rangers. The only fight at this location took place in 1844 and is well documented. The story of the Red Haired Captive and the Fight at Pinta Trail Crossing is probably not true.
