His army friends, from general to private, hope that he may live long and prosper abundantly. "Should the wild Sioux again go on the war-path, Cody, if living, will be found with the cavalry advance, riding another 'Buckskin Joe,' and carrying his Springfield rifle. 'Lucretia,' across the pommel of his saddle." FROM COL. DODGE'S "THIRTY YEARS AGO AMONG THE INDIANS."--PAGE 628.

The services which these men are called on to perform are so important and valuable that the officer who benefits by them is sure to give the fullest credit, and men honored in official reports come to be great men on the frontier. Fremont's reports made Kit Carson a renowned man. Custer immortalized California Joe. Custer, Merritt and Carr made William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) a plains celebrity 'UNTIL TIME SHALL BE NO MORE.'" | 16 |
