Indians Told by N P Earp From Marshall of 1861 Era
The Chronicle publishes an April 1866 letter by N P Earp to James Copla recounting early Lakota encounters and western migration. It details Earp’s roles as Marshall and councilman in Marshall Iowa, Civil War involvement, a Platte River raid, pursuit of Indians, and his later life in San Bernardino and agricultural ventures in California. The reminiscence places Earp at Cox's tavern meetings, notes his Westward move, and describes travels from Missouri River crossings to Salt Lake and beyond.
