Scout, serving with the troops operating against hostile Indians in 1868, on you secured renown by your services as a scout and successful hunter. Your sojourn on the frontier at a time when it was a wild and sparsely settled section of the Continent, fully enables you to portray that in which I have personally participated--the Pioneer, Indian Fighter, and Frontiersman. Wishing you every success, I remain, very respectfully yours, H. C. BANKHEAD, Brigadier-General, U. S. A. HOTEL RICHMOND, WASHINGTON, D. C. January 9, 1887. W. F. CODY (Buffalo Bill) was with me in the early days, when I commanded a Battalion of the 5th Cavalry, operating against the hostile Sioux.

All his successes have been conducted on the most honorable principles. W. B. ROYALL, Colonel 4th Cavalry, U. S. A. HEADQUARTERS 1ST CAVALRY, FORT CUSTER, M. T. I often recall your valuable services to the Government, as well as to myself, in years long gone by, especially during the Sioux difficulties, when you were attached to my command as Chief of Scouts. Your indomitable perseverance, incomprehensible instinct in discovering the trails of Indians, particularly at night, no matter how dark or stormy, your physical powers of endurance in following the enemy until overtaken, and your unflinching courage, as exhibited on all occasions, won not only my own esteem and admiration but that of the whole command. With my best wishes for your success, I remain your old friend, N. A. M. DUDLEY, Colonel 1st Cavalry, Brevet Brigadier-General, U. S. A. TALLAHASSEE, FLA., January 17, 1887. HON. WILLIAM F. CODY:--I take great pleasure in recommending you to the public, as a man who has a high reputation in the army as a Scout. No one has ever shown more bravery on the Western plains than yourself. I wish you success in your proposed visit to Great Britain. Your obedient servant, JNO. H. KING, Brevet Major-General U. S. A.
