Excerpt from The Oklahoma Scout

This book will be principally concerned with the events connected with my twenty years" experience as a scout and frontiersman for the United States army in the West. But that the reader may have a better understanding of the motives and causes which led me to adopt a career of such adventurous hardship a brief sketch of my previous life will be necessary.

I was born in Attica, Seneca county, Ohio, on the 30th of duly, in the year 1845. There were nine children of us, I being next to the oldest. My father was a mechanic. He moved to Branch county, Michigan, about the year 1858, where we were living when the rebellion broke out.
