Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ante Bellum; Or, Before the War: A Paper Read Before the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, Cincinnati, September 5th, 1883 But few days were left to us in which to make our preparations for the journey, and, among other things, it was necessary to look about for such transportation as would be suitable for myself and my wife. Now, I had an ambulance, the one that brought us from New Mexico, but I could not get a single mule to haul it. Three riding horses were a part of my outfit, but neither of them had ever had a collar on his neck, and I was in despair, until I consulted Captain George Sykes - afterward Major-General Sykes - when he, in the goodness of his heart offered to assist me in breaking two of the horses to the pole. But here another trouble arose, the ambulance was too heavy for the two animals, and I was again in the depths. Good fortune favored me, however, in the form of the sutler from Fort Ingo, who was at Fort Clark on a visit, and had with him a two horse top buggy. I made a trade for my ambulance, with what "boot" I do not now recollect, and as I had harness, we soon had the horses hooked up, and, after a few wild dashes, finding that they were not going to be hurt, they went along quietly enough, and Sykes and I, during the ensuing time, drove them out every day from the front of my quarters and back without stopping.
