Horse Sense and an Indian Hunting Pony Tale
A veteran recalls a rough riding hunt with an old Indian hunting pony once owned by the Seventh Cavalry. The animal steered antelope toward the hunter and later proved a true pointer during prairie chicken hunting, delivering game with uncanny instinct. A separate note covers Mr Davies who lost fortunes yet rallied workers with a coin and coal find, plus a tale of the Revolutionary Hudson Chain returned by Abrams S. Hewitt for use as a fence and lawn feature.
