An 1860s frontier tale recalls government scouts, immigrant trains, and a determined widow traveling alone after hostile attacks. With 70 cavalry facing 3000 hostiles, the narrator recounts the perilous pursuit and the moral weight of abandoning a stranded mother and her children to fate on the Black Hills trail.
A lone rider recalls chasing a wavering trail of Mrs. Hosmer and her wagon across the Platte country. He follows erratic camps, notes a wolf attack, then discovers the wagon abandoned near the Elkhorn. Despite exhaustive search he finds no survivors and leaves for Fort Randall with lingering mystery. The account ends with the question of what happened to the mother and children, unresolved to this day.
A New York Star report explains a public mind reader stunt. A confederate writes a sentence and hides it last among envelopes. The performer feigns picking a random slip, then repeats the sentence as if found inside, while the true author confirms it. The sequence repeats with each envelope to a presumed crowd effect.
