But The West Of The Old Times,

Having Secured My Indian Actors, I Started For Baltimore, Where I Organized My Combination, And Which Was The Largest Troupe I Had Yet Had On The Road.

Wild Bill Was A Strange Character. In Person He Was About Six Feet And One Inch In Height. He Was A Plains-man In Every Sense Of The Word.

Wild Bill Was Anything But A Quarrelsome Man Yet I Have Personal Knowledge Of At Least Half A Dozen Men Whom He Had At Various Times Killed.

The Cholera Had Broken Out At The Post, And Five Or Six Men Were Dying Daily.

If Wild Bill Could Have Made His Successful Dash Into Our Lines Earlier In The Day, The Attuck Would Have Been Made Sooner, And Greater Results Might Have Been Expected. The Confederates Had Suspected Him Of Being A Spy For Two Or Three Days, And Had Watched Him Too Closely To Allow An Opportunity To Get Away From Them Sooner.
