where else in authen-
tic history can there be found an ac-
count of a battle won by force of
men when the odds against them
were % to /. In no story which can
be told concerning the people of the
plains is there to be found a tale OF
greater heroism than that shown by
a little contingent of enlisted men of
the Sixth United States cavalry down
near the Red river in Texas. in the
summer of the year 1874. The Sixth
cavalry has had fighting history, but
this particular story shines bright in
its pages.
The Comanches, the Cheyennes and
the Kiowas were on the warpath and
were leaving red trail all along the
borders of western Kansas. General,
then colonel, Nelson A. Miles, was or
dered to take the field against the saw
ages. His expedition fitted out at
Fort Dodge and then struck for the
far frontier. The combined bands of
Indians learned that the troops were
on their trail and they fed south to
the Red river, of Texas, hotly pursued
by two troops of the Sixth cavalry,
commanded by Captains Biddle and
Compton.
