My Life Story of a Soldier Adventurer in Wars

The narrator describes fighting Boxers near Pekin and Tien Tsing, a head wound from a shell, hospital recovery, and later breaking horses in Denver before joining Boer forces. He notes captivity after Spine cob, and return to the United States as WWI-age veterans.
