Indian Frontier. On his way west, he helped to chase the guerrilla Quantrill, saw
the smoke of burning Lawrence, traversed the Oregon Trail, and tarried by the
way at Fort Kearney, Doby Town, Julesburg, and Fort Laramie. Stationed as a
military guard on the telegraph line west of Laramie, Arnold herded horses,
hunted bear, became acquainted with Joe Slade and other notorious plainsmen,
and saw something of Brigham Young's Destroying Angels. He described the great
Montana gold rush. He visited every trading post along the Missouri and became
acquainted with all the characters of note, both white and Indian. Married to
an Indian woman, he became skilled in Indian language and customs, took part as
interpreter in the making of several treaties, and served as dispatch bearer in
the Crook campaign."--Horace Bagley $13.00
