In All the Scattered Pieces, the narrator says that Naadáá left the Sangre de Cristos for Texas in mid autumn; however, she and Ahigá leave the mission in late summer. Remember the trip to the westernmost stretch of the South Canadian River took them a couple of weeks on horseback through rugged country. The Army wagon train may have left a week or more after she arrived also. That would have the military caravan leaving perhaps four weeks into autumn.
The married cowboys house on the Double H Ranch is described in Rio de los Brazos de Dios as have quarters for three families but in All the Scattered Pieces as housing four. Mark it up to remodeling and expansion.
In All the Scattered Pieces, When Lt. John Jones arrives at the Double H Ranch to interview and possibly arrest Naadáá, David tells him that Dusty was injured in the rescue of Naadáá in Texas. The actual rescue was across the Red River in Southern Oklahoma., but David is just speaking broadly as the event occurred in that part of the country rather than in New Mexican Southwest where her trip began.
