from both sides. Legend has it that 35 or 100 Native Americans were killed, but those numbers may be exaggerated. Baker and other survivors returned to Bridger's camp on the Green River on August 27. The mountain was later renamed Battle Mountain. Baker continued to hunt and trap in the Henry's Fork area independent of a fur company. He was often with Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, his brother John Baker, and others. They got along well with the Shoshone, but the Arapaho and Snake people sometimes stole their collection of furs that they collected over a summer. He became known for his skills as a frontiersman: His younger brother John, called "Beaver John" on the frontier, was also a trapper, hunter, and scout. He hunted and trapped with his brother Jim, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and Jack Robinson. His brother married a Shoshone woman and established a cattle ranch near Henry's Fork in Wyoming. Jim Baker was known for his skills as a marksman, archer, horseman, tracker, hunter, and lariat thrower. When hunting with a group of people, Baker generally took the lead and was the fastest rider of the men. He was also a competent Native American sign language communicator and spoke a number of Native American languages. He was known for his ability to guide, even where there were no evident trails. He had a good knowledge of the geography of the west, guiding others around rivers, lakes, canyons, and other geographical features. Based upon his reputation, he became a good friend of John C. Frémont. Baker camped with the Shoshone in the Wind River area, assuming the clothing and lifestyle of the Native Americans. They lived near present-day Medicine Bow, Wyoming. Marina, the daughter of the band's chief, and a girl named Winona were kidnapped by a group of Blackfeet. Baker rescued the young women and was married to Marina in October 1847. She gave her groom an emblem of bravery, a bear claw necklace. Baker continued to live with his wife's tribe, as was common when mountain men married Native American woman. Baker was adopted into the Shoshone tribe and given the name "Red-Haired Shoshone" in 1847. He was engaged in conflicts with Cheyenne, Souix, and Crows. He was said to have never been wounded in battle, yet it was also said that his body was covered with scars from battles, bear fights, and riding accidents.
