Camp Fire Stories and a Steamboat Daredevil Tale
A collected reminiscence spans camp life around a Missouri river town. Confederacy captain Bell robs a steamboat safe after a daring boarding, then wanders St Louis in disguise, while Dozier foils the theft and offers aid. A second vignette recalls a cavalry escape near White Sulphur Springs ending with Libby prison ties.
