A Mysterious Ride and a Freight Car Tale of War
A fragment from Chicago Inter Ocean follows The Footprint and Slug Seven narrating a harsh journey from Milton to Stockton. The narrator recounts being locked in a boxcar with two mules while the brakeman ran a hoax, leading to a perilous mule ride and a long trek on foot totaling 136 miles in a straight line. The piece weaves Sherman’s war analogy with comic hardship, ending noting New York City auctions and the New York Herald.
