The red skins got about thirty OF
our horses. One of our boys was
thrown from his horse coming In and
the Indians came pretty near getting
him, but Captain Murphy, Lieutenant
Brewer and myself went back and
kept the Indians away from him until
he got safe to the ranch. He had near

Most all of the non-commissioned

were left of what went into the fight
There were four commissioned officers
along. They tried to save the boys all
they could. There were none of them
killed, but they were brave and rode
in the rear OF the company to keep
the Indians back off the boys. We had
two pieces of artillery but did not have
them with us at the time. Everybody
says it was the hardest fight that has
been fought with the Indians. There

weaklings and the faint hearted turn
ed back; the pioneer turned his face
to the west and held his ground In
a few years the plague of grasshOp-
pers was forgotten, an army of set
tiers rolled over the western prar-
les. They came from every part but
arrived at the same time-a lot of
land hungry and soil loving people.
All of them eager to battle with the
elements and make the wild praries
yield food for the children of men.
They were grand collection of strong
young men. with fair sprinkiing of
old soldiers. All were eager, but many
were lilly prepared. The horses were
light. there were homestead shanties
to build and water to haul. The soil
was raw and the seeds for planting
came from back home. The father
in Kansas sent the boy peck of seed
corn 1t was fine for Kansas. but the
frost comes earlier in Colorado. The
Iowa and Illinois seed was better,
but it wasn't climated Many things
happened that was omitted from the
first estimate of the undertaking. then
came the lean years and the panic.
This thinned out the settlement. A
few stuck because they had the nerve,
a few more because they couldn't get
away. Those who stayed and stuck
to the old COW got rich 1t was a
hard struggle at first, but look at the
final days of contentmcnt and happi
ness.
With the influx of new settlers in
1855 came the demand for roads and
bridges and the conveniences Of local
government. Towns sprung up. and
the vast empire of Weld County was
divided. First Logan county was cut
off, this did not satisfy, and Logan
was sliced into three pieces.

Dear Sister. we had the most awful
fight yesterday that 1 ever saw or ever
hope to witness again. The Indians
came on to us yesterday morning and
we fought until night. We went into
the fight with thirty-seven men and
came out with fifteen. o, Nett, l can
not begin to describe the horrors of
that fight for We got whipped, o, SO
badly But we did the best we could
one But thank God some of us were
saved to protect the women, children
and sick soldiers. l can hardly real
ize that got out of their merciless
hands myself but o, my poor brothers
in arms, how they were slaughtered.
1t makes me shudder to think of it. to
see our poor boys cut down, their
scalps taken. their threats cut and
their hearts cut out, their arms and
legs and feet cut off. but dear Sis
/ ter, l will leave you to judge the rest
for l can't write it. There were five
citizens and several discharged SOL
diers killed and they were served as
bad as our boys. We could not bring
off our dead at the time but we got
them today and have just got through
doing the last sad rites. How brave
the boys were, almost to rashness,
but they thought they might as well
kill all they could for they were sure
of death anyway. But it is miracle
how any of us escaped.
They are fighting all along the road
now but we are SO badly cut up that
we can't go to help them. Our horses
are all tired down for We had a run
ming fight nine miles and back and
, went over the same ground today.
