Buffalo bill

Indians were frequently off their reservations.

Major North has had for years complete power over these Indians and can do more with them than any man living.

Wild Bill was a strange character. In person he was about six feet and one inch in height. He was a Plains-man in every sense of the word.

The Indians kept increasing in numbers until it was estimated that we were fighting from 800 to 1,000 of them.

On reaching the place where the Indians had surprised us, we found the bodies of the three men whom they had killed and scalped, and literally cut into pieces.

The Free State men, myself among them, took it for granted that Missouri was a slave state.

Nothing of course was ever done to Bill for the killing of Tutt.

The McCarthy boys, at the proper moment, gave orders to fire upon the advancing enemy.

The Indians were well mounted and felt proud and elated because they had been made United States soldiers.

I began to think my time had come, as the saying is.
