First sentence: ACCORDING TO "BIG FOOT" WALLACE, they were a motley, mixed up crowd, you may be certain - broken down politicians from the 'old States' that somehow had got on the wrong side of the fence, and had been left out in the cold; renegades and refugees from justice, that had 'left their country for their country's good,' and adventurers of all sorts, ready for anything or any enterprise that afforded a reasonable prospect of excitement and plunder.
