GENERAL SKATER IN PARADE UNIFORM.
ban campaign. When the war broke
out, he was long and lean and lank. He
was tough as hickory. He followed the
reaper barelegged and did man g
work. When President Lincoln called
for volunteers, he joined the army as q
private He did not stay long in the
ranks It was soon discovered that the
tall soldier with the lighting hook"
to his nose. and the clear steady eyes
was q man born to command. So COM
mand was given him.
Promotion came rapidly. He was
made a major of the Nineteenth Michi-
gan infantry. Next he was made lieu
tenant colonel. When the war closed,
he had been brevetted brigadier gen.
eral, the same title which he now holds.
Perhaps the fact that he was twice pro.
NOTED in one day on the same battle
field for bravery in action is sufficient
to show that he fought CALAMITY.
After the civil war closed he went
into the regular army and for 30 years
was assigned to posts far west Of the
Mississippi. They were not peaceful
stations either. He fought Apaches,
Sioux, desperadoes and outlaws. It was
during that period he won the now al
most forgotten nickname Of "Pecos
Bill"
General Shafter has acquired years
and bulk. He now weighs over 800
pounds, and his hair is snowy white.
He parts it in the middle when he parts
it at all. He cares little for appearances.
In dress parade uniform he is an impos-
ing figure, for his weight is distributed
over six foot frame.
But there is very little blue and brass
about General Skaters field uniform.
In fact, it is scarcely uniform at all.
Vests he entirely discards, and when he
wears coat it ia the first one that Is
handy. Usually it is q thin one, with
neither shoulder straps nor brass but
TONS In Cuba he has been wearing a
pith sun helmet, which makes fine
.:s:..+;ng for his strong, leonine face. The
sketch shown was drawn by New
York Herald artist.
Shafter has short legs and a long
body. He has heavy gray mustache
and great shaggy white eyebrows. You
couldn't call him grim, for there's a
world of wit and fun in his twinkling
blue eyes under those fierce eyebrows,
yet he is decidedly SO. He can't move
his own body very fast, to be sure, but
he has the faculty Of making others
move. He showed the Spaniards that
the other day.
Most of the generals under whom
Shafter fought in the civil war are no
more, but some Of them are left. Among
the survivors is General Corbin, who
has this to say about General Shafter:
General Shafter served with the
distinguished Seventh Michigan volun-
teers under my command during the
