What the Regular Soldier Has
Done for the Western States

vembef 23. 1868. After foul days of
marching through deep snow, and with
the Thermometer far below the zero
point, the camp of the Indian chief,
Black Kettle. was discovered. To take
it by surprise was Gen. Clusters de-
sire, and to do this he SO divided his
force as to entirely surround it, and
gave orders to charge the following
morning at daylight, when his trumpet
err would sound the charge. From the
time that all was ready for that charge
we will let Gen. Forsyth describe what
followed:

The next second his astonished ears
heard the sharp. report of a rifle from
the other end of the village: Instantly
turning to his trumpeter, Custer com
manded: Sound the charge!' Placing
his trumpet to his lips he obeyed, and

XXZEsTERN history is so indelibly

Wv mixed with the history of u
gallant little regular army that
one could hardly be written without
telling the other. 1t matters not
whether the west referred to is the
territory which our forefathers at the
beginning of the century spoke of as
the extreme limits of civilization, the
states of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Michigan or half a
dozen others, OF the west that we have
known beyond the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, rivers. Whetherthe commanders
were Gen. ST. Clair in the wilds of In
diana, Lieut.. Col. Cooke in the south
west. or Col. Darlington, Capt. Powell
or Gen. Custer in the northwest, the
deeds were the same, the difference
being but the individuality of the Off
GERS and men, and both the deeds and
the men reflect a credit on the valor of
the nation.
No n has ever told of these deeds
better than does Gen. George w. For
syth in his STORY of the Soldier" just
published by D. Appleton & Co, New
YORK, as one OF the STORY of the West"
series. He draws an enhancing pic
ture of the hazardous and fatiguing
work done by our little army during
the days that it stood between our from
tier settlements and humiliation. OF
how it has builded the roads and blazed
the trails through the forests that the
settlers wagon might follow. How it
has protected the advance agents of
civilization, whether they be the set
tiers wagon or the railroad. In writ
ing of the development of the west, Gen.
Forsyth gives first credit for following
the trail of the aborigine to the fur
trader and then to the soldier. OF this

This is a small item but it is large
