Plains Scout Remembers Civil War Winter Campaigns
The narrative recalls long stretches of solitude on the plains, outpost tactics with a lead horse, and the use of a bugler named Kershaw to misdirect bands of Indians. It details buffalo hunts, mountain blizzards, frostbite, and daring rescues that connected Fort Sheridan, General Carr, and General Sheridan’s commands.
