While seated In my otflco at Fort McKln-
noy , Wyo. on the lOttuday of November.
1S90 , the following < * l iJratn was handed
' " "

"Move out ns soon ns possible with the

What posalblo cause for this Interruption
of our pi-acn and happiness and the breakIng -
Ing up of our homes , settled for the long
and usuall ; trying winter , and the leaving
ot our famlHcs could' not bo Imagined.
A distance of nearly 200 miles from the
railroad , uncertain mail and telegraphic fa
cilities , or nt least much delayed news , kepi
UB Ignorani of outsldo troubles.
I'roparatlor.a were nt once made , and the
following day I marched out of Fort McKln-
noy with tionp I ) . Ninth cavalry , Captain
Loud , Lieutenants. Powell and llenton.
Turning the point of a hill , after crossing
the beautiful Clear fork of the 1'owder
rlvor , the pest and our famlllra wcro soon
lost to sight. Llttlo did wo suspect , nt the
time that wo were never to return to Fort
McKlnney ns n station. Thla Is a porullar-
Ity of army life to Idavc on twenty-four
hours' notice n place , possibly never to bo
Been again , or maybe only when , after a
lapse of years , a. similar notice may ns sud
denly return you to your old station. Nearing -
ing the railroad , wo began to hear nil sorts
of rumom of the Indians being on the
warpath thu murder , of settlers , the start
ing of n party of Indiana In the direction
of Fort McKlcney so as to obtain a refuge
In the Illg Horn mountains ; these and other
reports found us mentally prepared for a
winter's campaign , BO that on reaching the
railroad wo wcro not surprised to find cnro
In readiness to carry us to Hushvlllc , the
nearest point to the reported place of trou
ble I'lno Illdgo agency , South Dakota.
Wo arrived at Urshvllle nt night , and Im
mediately detrained , and otarted early the
following morning on our march to the
agency , where wo arrived early In the after
noon of the same day. Contrary to ex
pectations wo met with no hostile Indiana
or resistance.
Wo found nil the troops camped close
about the agency , and mr.dc our own camp
In the bottom , about half n mile away , on
Whlto river. The next day wo were Joined
by troops K , F and I , with Captains Wrlghi
and Stedman. and Lieutenants Oullfoylo.
McAnnney and Perry , Dr. Kcano being the
medical olllcor ; the four troops constituted
the Ninth cpvalry anuadron. Our time wrn
fully occupied In dally' drills and In getting
our pack-mulo trnhn In order , for upon this
we dupended for rations and forage when
absent from our w.igo'ps. Rumors came
often to us that the Indians wcro keeping
up their ghmt-shlrt , " or Messiah dnncea ;
that they considered th'se shirts , when
worn , to bo Impervious to the bullet ; of
their deislro to clean out .the whites and to
occupy tno promised < iana ; or tnctr Having
occupied nn Impregnable pcsltlnn In tin *
Had Lands , so fortified and dlincult of approach
preach that an attempt to dislodge them
would result In tho' annihilation of the
whole , army thcsp and many other rumors
Gave the Indian , who Is a great braggart ,
an abundant opportunity to air lilnwelf. and
left us plenty of leisure to prepare our
selves for our future , otate.
The afternoon ) of flecpmber 21 an order
reached us to move out at once to head off
Illg Foot an Indian chief and his band ,
who had escaped from our troops , and. It
was suppcficd. would Join the hostllca In
the Had Lands ; and" this wo were to pre
vent. So at 2 p. in. the " 'general" sounded
a signal which meant to strike our tents
and pack our mules and -wagons. The lat
ter were to follow us , . „ escorted by one- -
troop. Soon "boots 'and caddies" rang
out , when horsea were saddled , line formed ,
and the.n , with three troops and with two
HotchkUs guns of the First artillery , under
Lieutenant Hayden , wo commenced our
march of fifty miles , expecting- reach our
goil before daylight. Only a half-hundred
miles ! It doea not seem far on paper , but
on the back of a trotting horse on a cold
winter's night Jt U jiot to bo laughed
at. On wo dashc-d through the
agency , buoyed by the hearty cheers
and "A Merry Christmas ! " given us by the
comrades wo were learlng behind to revel
by the camp-fires , while wo rode on by
moonlight to meet the foe. Every heart went
out In sympathy with us , every one waved h's
hat and cheered as we rode out on the
plains perhaps to glory , perchance to death.
I'roud and gallant the troopera looked ,
mcro ns If going on parade than like men
riding forth , It might be. to meet a soldier's
death. It made one's heart boat quicker ,
and brought to mind the woids :
To sound of trumpet nml lienrt-bcut
The squadron maivhcs by ; _ _
There Is color In their chocks ,
There Is counuro In their eyes ;
Yet to the sound of trumpet nnd heart-bent
In a moment they may die.
Little did we think at that time that
within less than one week some of tht
gallant men wo wcro leaving behind would
be killed by the very band we sought , while
wo should bo saved. After riding for two
hours , alternately at a trot and a walk , a
short halt was made for the men to make
coffee nnd to slvo the horses a feed. Then
the inarch was continued , and on and on wo
ppod , that cold , moonlight Christmas eve.
The words , "Peace on earth , good will to
ward men , " rang In our cars as wo pushed
on with hostile Intent toward the red men.
The night was beautiful with the clear
moon , but so cold that water froze solid In '
our canteens , notwithstanding the constant
shaking. Crossing a narrow ' bridge , a pack-
mule was shoved off'by Us crowded com
rades , and , falling on the Ice of Wounded
Knee creek , broke aMole , smashed a box
of hardtack , but gathers' ! himself together ,
and ambled off , Eiulllng serenely at having
received no damage to his body.
Here wo passed abandoned ranches , the
owners driven off by threats or fear of the
Indians ; hero wa wcrqjat the scene of the
ghost dance ; , where the Indians were
taught that the Messiah would appear , rid
the country of the white man , and bring
plenty to the Indian ; that the common cotton
ghost shirt worn was'bullet proof ; while
In every othc-r possible way the medicine
men worked upon th'o' fanaticism of the
deluded creature. WCH saw at a distance
stray cattle , Whoso 'spectral ' appearance
almost led us to bcllpvu In ghosts , If .not In
ghost shirts , nnd aif'c.vfidilnatlon was ; made
to eco whether or notillhcy > yere Indians
waiting on their ponlcaTo attack us.
To cross White river wo had to take a
plunge from solid Ice. ( q ifald-channol water ,
and then rode to Cottonwood springs , nt the
linso of the position of the Indians In the
Had Lands. Wo reached this place nt 4
a. m. , and threw ourselves on the ground
for rest , knowing that to obtain wood and
water for breakfast Christmas morning wo
should have to march eight miles. And this
Is the way the Ninth cavalry squadron spent
Christmas eve of 1S90. Christmas day wo
proceeded to Ilarney springs , a place where
I had encamped during my winter's march
of seventeen years before , nnd finding wood
nnd water , wo made our breakfast. Wo
scouted the country for teveral days to
find Dig Foot's trail , but he hid passed cast
of us. We discovered the tepees of the
Indians , but finding no trace of the former
occupants , wo returned to Whlto river. The
next day wo made a reconnaissance of the
Dad Land ? . Instead of narrow trails or
defiles of approach accessible only In single
flle , where we could have ticen shot down by
the Indians at will , we found a broad open
divide ; Instead of Impregnable earthworks ,
only a ridiculously weak pile of earth ex
isted , hero nnd there , filled In by a. dead
horo. The Indians occupied a narrow posi
tion , from which they could easily have been
shotted. They had taken cno military
precaution , however , that of peparlng for
retreat , and had cut openings In the bluffs ,
which on their sldo were abrupt , so tha
they could slide down and escape. The
icallty , as compared with the reports o
Indian guides and Interpreters , was grcatlj
exaggerated , nil brag and bluster , anil bu
for the existence of high hila ! , llttlo more
than a "bluff" on the part of the Indians. :
had spent many a moment , when I suppose *
wo should have to make an a ault on this
position , thinking how It could be done , am
worrying over the probable loss of life
such perhaps as had occurred In the Lava
beds when troops wcro opposed to the Modoc
Indians ; but when I taw thU burlesque !
could only laugh , and I made up my mini
that It was best not to cross Fox river til
It was reached.
On returning to camp that night , while
the weary but llght-hoarlcd troopers wort
singing negro melodies after supper , n
scout , who rode a pony steaming and lleckcn
with foam , dashed Into camp , bringing In
formation of the Seventh cavalry's fight nt
Wounded Knee , of the -death of Captain
Wallace , of the flight of 6,000 Osalalla Sioux
and of the probable chnnco ot nn attack en
the agency. For the second time that da >
trumpets rang out "boots and saddles. '
There was not n laggard ; tents wilt down
like a ( lash ; wagons were packed ; every man
sprang to his horse , nnd In loss than fort >
minutes after the news hnd been received
wo wcro oft for Pine Hldge , nearly fifty miles
away.
H was now 10 o'clock at night , the wind
was cold , nnd as It howled out of the
canyons nnd swept over the volley. It carried
with It the crystaU that had fallen the day
before. There was no moon , the night was
Inky dark , even the patches of snow which
lay hero and there on the ground gave mi
relief to the eye. Muffled In their shaggy
buffalo overcoats , and hooile < I by the
grotesque fur caps Used by our western
troops , the negro troopers looked like
meaningless bundles that had been tied In
some way to the backs of their horses.
Through canyons whrao black walls scorned
to bo compressing all the darkness of the
night , over buttes whoi-c crests wcro
crowned with snow , and across the rickety
bridges which span Wounded Knee nml
Porcupine creeks the command cpcd at a
pace which would have killed horses that
had not been hardened by practice , as ours
had been. Nothing could be heard but the
clatter of hoofs and the clanking of the
carbines us they chafed the ni'talllc trap
pings of the saddle ; silence had -been ordered ,
and the usual laugh and melodious songs
of the darky troopers were not ours to
beguile the march. Now and then came the
reverberation ofthe mule-whacker's whip
as ho threw his energy and muscle Into n
desperate effort to keep the wagon train
near us ; figures could bo seen flitting across
the road and on the bluff * , and wo know not
at what moment we might be fired upon ;
accordingly , the effort was made to roach
the agency before daybreak. In the hops that
darkness and the Indians' superstition would
protect us from attack In the 'meantime.
AH we n cared the agency the country be-
canio more open , hills easy of occupation
j commanding the road If the occasion re
quired. So , In order to enable us to get
' our horses Into camp , and the riders nnd
saddles oft our weary animals , wo left the
wagon train a short dlctanco In the- rear ,
guarded by one troop , and the column moved
on , entering the agency nt daybreak , men
and horsw much tired after our long day
and night ride of about 100 miles. Reach
ing our old camp we nil sought rest at once
by throwing ourselves on the ground , but
we had been resting only n short time when
Corporal Wilson of the wagon train guard
who had volunteered at the risk of his life
to reach us , rode rapidly Into camp nnd re
ported that the train beyond the agency was
surrounded and one man already killed. In a
moment the command , ttnnny not waiting to
saddle , galloped to the front and qulckl )
occupied the hills , whereupon the Indiana
retreated and the train moved In.
Scarcely had wo returned to camp when
orders were received to proceed to the
Mission , the smoke from whoso bulldingn
indicated Indian depredations. Hy request ,
owing to tired men nnd horses , wo wore
allowed to rest longer , the Seventh cavalry
going out. Later we went to the Ml-ulau ns
rapidly as our wearied lioraoi could carry
us , and. after accomplishing the purpose
for which wo had been urgently called , re
turned , reaching our camp about dusk. Wo
had marched gome 103 miles In
twenty-two lioura , and. although ono
horse had died , theiw was not a
core-backed horse In the outfit ; men
nnd horses were fatigued , but all were In
good condition. The following day , Decem
ber 31 , wo remained In camp , with n howling
snow storm prevailing , and amid these
gloomy surroundings the Seventh cavalry
burled Its dead. January 1 , again under
orders , wo left the agency to combine with
other troops In forming a cordon to drlvo
back the bostllcs who hnd fled from the
agency , ov to follow them If depredatlono
upon the settlements were commenced.
Finally the Indiana were forced back to the
agency , not , however , until Lieutenant
Casey had been killed by them , nor before
they saw that resistance was useless , and
that tha ghcet shirt was not Impervious to
the bullet.
Preparations wcro then made for a final
review of troops. Wo were encamped In
line of battle , extending nearly three miles ,
which made a great Impression upon the
Indians , many of whom looked on from a
distance In amazement and distrust , fearing

took pmltlon opposite the center , BO that
the troops , all of whom hnd participated In
or rendered service during the 1'lno Illdgo
troubles , might march past him. They
moved In column of companies , troops , or
platoons , and by Infantry , cavalry , and nrtll-
lery corps , respectively , and In order an
above. General llrooko and staff headed the
column , followed by the band of the
Flrat United States Infantry. When op-
poslto General Miles the band wheeled out
of the column , playing , or attempting to
do so , durinn the passage of the troops
a dim. 'tilt matter , nn the fierce wind almost
prevented any musical notes being made or
heard.
Then enme 100 mounted Ogalalla Indian
scouts , commanded by Lieutenant Taylor
of the Ninth cavalry. Their precision of
march was noticeable , and In various wayn
they had rendered valuable service during
Ihn campaign. General \Vheaton , as n
brigade con-mander. followed with his staff.
The first regiment of hti command was the
Klrst United Statr Infantry , under Colonel
Shatter , whose martial appearance and In-
illffarcnco to the cold the men not wearing
overcoats su Rc-sted blood warmed by their
California station. Then came the Second
United States Infantry , under Major Uutlor.
Their marching showed service , and they
had recently lent Captain Mills , whoso Bad
death In his tent n reveille sounded was
frtah In the mind * of his comrades. Next
followed six companlrs of the Seventeenth In
fantry , under Captain Van llorno , who
marched well ; then two companies of the
Klghth infantry with a Galling gun , under
Captain Whitney ; then Captain. . Capron with
his llsht battery of the First United States
artillery , which had distinguished Itself
at the battle of Wounded Knee creek during
the flght with lllg Foot's band nn December
2 ! ) , and nftcivinrd at the Mission. Next In
order came General Carr , commanding the
cavalry brigade , followed by the historic
and veteran Sixth cavalry and the Fort
Leavenworth cavalry squadron , composed of
ona troop from each of the First. Fifth and
KIghth regiments of cavalry , followed by a
Hotchklss battery ; then come the scowling
black faces of the Ninth cavalry Ftiaudron ,
with three other troops. A , C and G of
the same regiment , who passed at "ad

service Is of olllclal record ; then the Seventh

and pack-mule trains brought up the rear.
making n total In passing of about 3,000
men and 3,700 animals.
Th- > column was pathetically grand , with
its bullet-pierced gun carriages. Its tat
tered guidons and Its long array of cav
alry. artillery and Infantry , facing a pitiless
storm which caused the curious Indians who
witnessed If to seek nrntooMnn iiiulnr nvnrv
cover and butte which could bo found. It
was the grandest demonstration that had
over teen acen by the army in the west , and
when the soldiers had gone to their tents
the sullom and suspicious Urulca could be
seen going to their tepees In Ill-dlsguUed
bad hiimoi * . The forces dlnbandrd In a few
days , the First Infantry remaining at the
agency for ono month , while the Ninth cav
alry squadron was ordered to select a com
fortable winter camp , and to remain till
spring. '
Our comfortable camp was located on a
small stream under cover of a high bluff ,
which , like a snow fence , secured and held
the drifting snow from the plain above and
caused a bank of snow twenty feet high
and ten thick toj form beyond and near our
camp. The men had stoves in their tents ,
but their bcda wcro era the wound ; the
officers were a llttlo bettor off. The ani
mals had canvas blanket covcra. Uut with
all this there was suffering In various waSn.
Thcro were damp , cold nights ; many had
colds and pccumonla ; there were few com
forts. Hut yet our soldiers did not com
plain. On the contrary , It would have been
dlincult to find a more truly happy lot than
those colored troopers.
Bach of the big Slbloy tents held fifteen ,
or sixteen men. and when supper was over
( bread and coffee , and sometimes a little
bacon ) , these little communities settled
down to have a good time. Song and story ,
with an occasional jig or a selection on the
mouth-organ or the banjo , with the hearty
laugh of the darky , occupied the night
hours till "taps" sounded for bed ; and the
reveille , or awakening , seemed to flnd these
jolly follows still laughing. The Indians
sewn to hold tint darky In reverence , If not
nwo. The doctrine of the Messiah religion
U that all the whites are to bo cleaned off
the earth and this leaves the negro. Tito
Indiana have a superstition that the bullet
cannot kill the darky ; but this , as with the
ghoat-shlrt "not-kill" theory , had' ' been dis
pelled by urtual experience.
The negro Is not easy to scalp I have
never heard of ono being scalped , their
wool not giving so good a hold act the hair
of the white man and the theory Is that
only these who are scalped are kept from the
"happy hunting grounds , " where the fight
ing unfinished on earth Id continued. It Is
certain that the treatment of the black
by the Indian is different from that given
to the white , and when thrown together the
red man seems to hold the- black lin greater
respect. I recall nn Instance In my youth
when a band of Indiana attacked a party of
whites , killing the men and children , but
keeping a white woman and a colored woman
nurse. The two women were obliged to
change clothes , showing the greater respect
for the black , who was treated then and
afterward with consideration , while the
white woman was killed when on the eve
of recapture by our troops who had pursued
the Indiana.
The colored troopa make excellent soldiers ;
In garrison they are clean and self-respect
ing , and proud of their uniform ; In the Held
patient and cheerful under hardships or
deprivations , never growling nor discon
tented , doing what Is required of them
without a murmur. Arriving In camp after
hours In the rain or cold Ihey will sing and
be- happy ; un enforced reduction of ratloim
Is received with good humor. The peculiar
owl-like character of the negro , who ap
parently docs not need eo much oleep at
night as the white man , makes him a good
anil vlcllnnt anntlnnl.
If properly led ho will fight well ; other
wise , owing to his habit of dependence upon
ti superior , ho Is more liable to stampede
than the Caucasian ; nor hail he , na with the
white , except In exceptional cases , the name
Individuality or self-dependence ho goes
rather In a crowd and you seldom ace n
negro by himself. Hoa \ gencroua to a
fault and lies but llttlo regard for the care
of United States oroncrtv. for wlilnh m-i'lm.t
10 pays , but In this respect ho la much Im
proved over former year * . lie Is Ilko a
child , and has to bo looked after by hla
oillcors , but will repay such lnterr.it by n
lovoted following and Implicit obedience.
ft would not bo afo to suggest to oomo of
theao black troopero your dcslro thut ono
of their comrades , whoso conduct hud not
met with approval , should bo hung beforu
daylight , for It would very likely bo an ac
complished fact. Drunkenness Id not ono of
ils vices It is flcldom you BCO ono under the
iillucnco of liquor ; his loyalty to the flag
H unquestioned , and the desertion of ono la
almost unknown.
The above are some of the virtues of the
dock trooper , all necessary attributes of a
; oed soldier. Cardplaylng and he la on

n ono of hl vices , If auch It may bo called.

Our ficrvlce with such men made the ( Una-
jrecablo camp surroundings endurable , oven
ilcasant , and Imparted to the whlto olllccrs
a more contented fcollng , or at least an
acceptance of the slttmtlon In a more
equable manner than would otherwise have
been the case ,
Spring came , and with It our ordero to
narcb to Fort Iloblnson , a ntatlon where
had been seventeen years before , when
on my winter's inarch to the Illack Hills.
I was now to return to It under very differ
ent clrcuniHtanccrt. Leaving our winter
camp , and marching through deep snows ,
vo made the town of Chadron , on the rail-
oad , the first day , our men Bleeping In a
building loaned by the citizens. The second
lay wo marched nearly forty mllca through

In drifts much deeper , and , ns the
annw began to melt , through lakiw of slush
and bog , many of the men and animals be
coming snowbtlnd. As the retreat gun
fired , with the band playing a welcome ,
wo entered Fort Robinson , thus ending the
duties of thu Ninth cavalry squadron In the
I'lno Illdge Sioux Indian campaign.
