Hunting Moonshiners and a Revenue Raid Story
The account follows a moonshining chase into the northeast mountains. A guide, Marshal Carr, and agents confront bootleggers at a remote cabin, capturing Buck and seizing liquor while rescuing a captive woman and child. The tale ends with a note on how a schoolteacher’s derisive label for revenue officers evolved into the local moonshiners term “Tifer.”

Across the Santa Fe Trail from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Union

General George Sykes reviews the line as a three mile wagon train forms, describes camp life, river crossings, buffalo encounters, and a dramatic buffalo stampede scare.
