is the hero of a famous ride of sixteen mile
from the camp to Pine Ridge, along the line
of which road were 7,000 hostile Indians
eager for his death.

Mr. Allison, a famous scout, who brought
Sitting Bull from Canada, was also a guest
of the Wild West and a witness of the performance
from the grand stand.

In Col Cody the cadets saw the last living
scout of the old regime, when scouts were of
more consequence than they are in the present
day. Many graduates of West Point
who are now prominent in the army acknowledge
their indebtedness to Col Cody for
their first lessons in practical warfare and
knowledge of the country west of the Missouri.
