The Big Horn And Yellowstone Expedition. CHAPTER I. BOUND FOR THE 1'LAINS. In the beginning of May, 1876, I was attached to the city department of the Chicago Times. One day Mr. Clinton Snowden, the city editor, said to me, Mr. Storey wants a man to go out with the Big Horn and Yellowstone expedition, which is organizing under Generals Crook and Terry, in the departments of the Platte and Dakota. There is apt to be warm work out there with the Indians, so if you don't care to go, you needn't see Mr. Storey. I care to go, and I'll see Mr. Storey, was my answer. The famous editor of the Chicago Times did not, at that period, show any significant indication of that withering at the top which subsequently obscured his wonderful faculties. He was a tall, well-built, white-haired, white-bearded, gray-eyed, exceedingly handsome man of sixty, or thereabout, with a courteous, but somewhat cynical, manner. v '' r; Vo'ii are the' young' man Mr. Snowden mentioned for the Plains? he asked, as soon as I had made ray presence known by the usual half shy demonstrations, because everybody who did not know him well, and who had heard his reputation on the outside, approached the formidable Ver- monter in somewhat gingerly fashion. I replied in the affirmative. Well, how soon can you be ready? he inquired. At any time it may please you to name, was my prompt reply. You should have your outfit first. Better get some of it here?perhaps all. You are going with Crook's column, said Mr. Storey, with his customary decisiveness and rapidity. I understood 1 was to go with Ouster, '' J rejoined. I know General Custer, but am not acquainted with General Crook. That will make no difference, whatever, said he'. Terry commands o...

War-Path and Bivouac, Or the Conquest of the Sioux by John F. Finerty Pdf

Excerpt from War-Path and Bivouac, or the Conquest of the Sioux: A Narrative of Stirring Personal Experiences and Adventures in the Big Horn and Yellowstone Expedition of 1876, and in the Campaign on the British Border, in 1879 It had long been my intention to publish the volume which I now submit to the public. The book is, as far as human fallibility will permit, a faithful narrative of stirring events the like of which can never again occur upon our continent. Stories of Indian warfare, even when not founded entirely upon fact, have ever been popular with people of all nations, and more particularly with the American people, to whom such warfare is rendered familiar both by tradition and experience. These memoirs aim at laying before the public the adventures, privations, heroism and horrors of our last great Indian wars, exactly as they presented themselves to the writer in battle, on the march or in bivouac. The valor of the American army has never been impugned, but millions of our own citizens do not know, even yet, what privations our brave soldiers endured, and what noble sacrifices they made, in advancing our banner in the wilderness of the West and in subduing the savage and sanguinary tribes that so long barred the path of progress in our Territories.

Warpath and Bivouac: Or the Conquest of the Sioux (1890) by John Finerty Pdf

"A very spirited narrative of Indian warfare." - The Atlantic, 1892 "One of the best of all the books written upon the Indian troubles." -Magazine of Western History, 1890 "One of the most interesting and best written stories." -Life and Adventures of Frank Grouard, Chief of Scouts (1891) "Some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting ever done on our frontier, graphically told, narrated by one of the active participants." -N. Y. Independent, 1891. Christened "The Fighting Correspondent," by famous scout Frank Grouard, John Finerty, serving as field correspondent of the Chicago Times, would on more than one occasion narrowly escape massacre in the four Indian wars he covered, including the campaign against Sitting Bull in 1876, and the famous Sibley scouting expedition in the Big Horn mountains. As Finerty details in his 1890 book "Warpath and Bivouac," he endeared himself alike to the officers and men of Crook's command, and shared all their dangers and deprivations. The journalistic profession has just cause for pride over the conspicuous bravery that characterized this "fighting correspondent." According to Scout Frank Grouard, Finerty importuned him to be permitted to accompany him on every scouting expedition that was organized, but not until the starting of the Sibley party did the correspondent have his wishes gratified. When Finerty asked to accompany the Sibley party, General Crooke warned him that he "might get into more trouble than, perhaps, I anticipated." Lieutenant Bourke the asked him "what kind of an epitaph I would like him to write for me." It turned out these warnings should have been heeded, as Finerty would find out: "Groups of mounted savages appeared on the bluffs north and east of us. Most of them were in full war costume.... My horse stumbled from the shock of the bullet, but recovered its feet almost immediately, and bore me in safety to the edge of the timber, under the rapid Indian fire. I could hear their bullets rattling against the pine tree trunks like hail-stones on the roof of a barn. "We could distinctly hear their savage, encouraging yells to each other, and Gruard said that Sioux and Cheyennes were allied in the attacking force, all of whom appeared to be in great glee at the prospect of a scalping entertainment...." In describing his arranged meeting with Sitting Bull, Finerty noted that "I have followed Sitting Bull around long enough, and now I shall behold, 'the lion in his den,' in earnest.... "Soon afterward, an Indian mounted on a cream-colored pony, and holding in his hand an eagle's wing, which did duty for a fan, spurred in back of the chiefs and stared stolidly, for a minute or so, at me. His hair, parted in the ordinary Sioux fashion, was without a plume. His broad face, with a prominent hooked nose and wide jaws, was destitute of paint. His fierce, half bloodshot eyes gleamed from under brows which displayed large perceptive organs, and, as he sat there on his horse, regarding me with a look which seemed blended of curiosity and insolence..." About the author: John Frederick Finerty (1846 -1908) was a U.S. Representative from Illinois. Born in Ireland, Finerty immigrated to the United States in 1864. He enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War serving in the New York State Militia. He was a war correspondent for the Chicago Times in the Sioux War of 1876, in the Northern Indian (Sioux) War of 1879, in the Ute campaign of 1879, and afterward in the Apache campaign of 1881. He was a correspondent in Washington, D.C. during 1879-1881. He established the Citizen, a weekly newspaper, in Chicago in 1882.
