organized a command of Sioux scouts
and rounded up the Cree Indians, a
feat which won commentator from
the Secretary of War. And most in
teresting, he told me the real story
of how Jack Pershing came to get the
name BLACK Jack"
Talking with Colonel Hardeman and
unprecedented rise to the highest mil
itary office America can give, l know
that General Pershing owes much of
his greatness to those early Indian
days.
Jack Pershing, second lieutenant,
studied the Indians as he studied the
negroes when he was John Pershing,
teacher In the negro school of his
home town of Laclede. He studied the
Indian until he knew every character
istic of the Indian; until he was pos
sessed Of all the knowledge of which
the Indian is possessed.
That knowledge was Jack Pershings
when, after the Cuban campaign, he
went to the Philippines, to the island
of Mindanao, there to conquer and
subdue the Moro, something which
Spain had tried to accomplish for CEN
turtles and which Spain had found i'm
possible.
The Moro was a savage like the
Apache. The Moro was drawer than
the Apache. Yet Jack Pershing con-
quered them, conquered them because,
as second lieutenant in Indian cam
paigns, he had learned all there was
to learn of the savage. He went to
Mindanao and he knew what to do. He
won for himself there his reward from
President Roosevelt - promotion from
the rank of captain to brigadier- gen.
eral over the heads of 862 of his SUI
periors, a promotion without precedent
in American history and the most SEN
sational promotion in American his
| tory. But Mindanao is another story.
To tell now of the days that followed
Jack Pershing's entrance into the
army.
Il was with the Fourth Cavalry"
| Colonel Hardeman told me. But / saw
much of Jack Pershing, and whenever
we met we would have long talks.
I'VE got down into New Mexico just
after the Geronimo campaign. There
were still many Indian Renegades
about and there was little scouting
to do. Occasionally there would be a
