CHIEF OF SCOUTS

Frontier Hero Whose Name Will Live in History.

Colonel William F. Cody and His Valuable Services to His Country.

His Valor and Courage the Theme or the Great Writers of the War--Praised by Custer, Logan and Sheridan, and Indorsed by Buell, Emory, Merritt and Sherman--Endured the Terrors of the West for the Protection of the People and Not for Cheap Notoriety.

Yet along the borders of the Arkansas river and its numberous tributaries, on the sides of the black hills, are hundreds of little graves where no loving hand has set even a headstone to mark the spot where a scout lies, while on the great prairies and in the river bottoms and valleys hundreds of little heaps of whitened bones show where faithful scouts, in twos and threes, have fallen beneath the shower of hostile arrows.
