The nsate scoseld qet ahead of the horses
to go with General Custer and that he
wanted me to have the best mount
there was at the post. At that time
the horses a. the fort were pretty well
run down from many chases after In
dams, but | was riding and had at
the time as good a long distance horse
as | have ever known. and he was a
mule. The general himself was riding
a Kentucky thoroughbred.
At daylight l rode up to the COM
handing officers quarters, and Cap
tain Ovenshine introduced me for the
first time to General Custer. The gen.
eral. seeing that l was mounted on a
mule, said to Captain O~venshine:
Captain. | haven't got time to dilly
daily along the road with a mule. |
see that my guide here is mounted on
a mule. | want him TO have a horse.
and a good one"
| said, General, this is the best
horse at the fort. and I assure you
that he won't be much behind you
when you reach Fort Larned."
The captain explained to the general
thct the horses were In pretty bad
conditio ct the fort and that he had
heard me brsg so much about that
mule that he felt quite sure that the
! beast was all right.
The general seemed a little displeas-
ed and said, well, II that is the best
you have | will have to put up with
It."
We mounted and started out on the
road. For the first fifteen miles to
Smoky Hill river there was a good
wagon road, and as we rode along the
general asked me numerous questions
In regard to the country and the In
dams, and thus we talked along mile
after mile. But the general was going
at a pretty rapid gait, and my mule
was not very speedy on the start, but
] knew he would finish all right. So
when the general was not looking |
would put the spurs to the mule a lit
tie to wake him up. However, I kept
alongside of the general until | got to
Smoky Bill river. l noticed that the
old mule was not painting much. bus

the last water for forty-fve miles un-
til we got near Larned: that 1t would
be best to water the horses there, and
D. the men required any water they
hnd better fill up their c%anteens. which
they did.
From this point we struck into the
