In his later years he told how, in his
early days, his exhuberant vigor was such,
that when a horse stood across his path
his impulse was. not to go round, but jump
over It! And he had a keen relish for the

OF the west. So he went light heartedly on

Through this period he seems to have
done more or less newspaper correspon-

fragments, the reckless frolic of boys re-
counted with the sobriety OF age.

people in Omaha, at which, being young
and foolish, 1 was much gratified. After

joys and miseries of i~ntoxication. My i'm
preston will not be forgotten, for though
the faculty OF self-restraint was helpless,
the brain was not so clouded that 1 did
not know what 1 was about. I was so
conscious OF an irrepressible hilarity,
which provoked me to fling decorum to
the winds, and of being Overwhelmingly

General Hancock's expedition against the

termination Of a bloodless campaign, was
asked to accompany the peace commission
to the Indians"
These two expeditions he reported In a
series OF letters to the Missouri Democrat,
which in 1896 he made into the first OF two
volumes, My Early Travels and Adven-
lures" 1t is the graphic story OF a sig
nificant and momentOus contact OF civil
ization with savagery. Two years after
the close OF the civil war, the tide OF set
tiers was swiftly advancing over the great
p~rairies OF the west. The Union Pacific
railroad was being pushed forward at the
rate OF four miles a day. The Powder
river military road was being constructed
to Montana. and forts erected along its

Lik David Copperfield's first supper
party, one such lesson was enough for a
man who was to do a mans part; he never
again fell under Circe's spell. But the
hunger for robust exploit was there, and
he had found a companion of kindred

started for Denver. I'VE bought some
planking and tools, and, in a few hours,
