  • On the Plains with Custer: The Western Life and Deeds of the Chief with the Yellow Hair, under whom Served Boy Bugler Ned Fletcher

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    In every direction wide stretched the lonely brown prairie-land of north central Kansas, 1866. From horizon to horizon not a house of any kind was to be seen, nor even a tree except low lines of willows and occasional cottonwoods marking the courses of streams. Late November’s pale blue sky bent mildly over, the steady plains breeze rustled the dried weeds and the sun-cured carpet of buffalo-grass ... Read more

  • With Carson and Fremont: Being the Adventures in the Years 1842-'43-'44, on Trail Over Mountains and Through Deserts From the East of the Rockies to the West of the Sierras

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    It was the middle of November, 1840; and across the sandy face of southwestern Kansas was toiling, outward bound from Missouri, a Santa Fé caravan: fifty-two huge, creaking canvas-topped wagons, drawn each by six or eight span of mules or yoke of oxen. In this day the so-called foreign government of Mexico extended north through New Mexico to the Arkansas River in Colorado and southwestern Kansas. ... Read more

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    The toiling little steamboat “Arkansas” was stuck harder than ever, as seemed, on a mud-bar far up the shallow Arkansas River, in the old “Indian Country,” which is present Oklahoma. “Back her! Back her!” were bawling a half-dozen voices, from her passengers. “Go ahead! Give her steam! Push her over!” were bawling a half-dozen others. “No! Swing her!” The paddle-wheel astern threshed vainly; the ... Read more

    When in 1801 Thomas Jefferson became third President of the United States the nation was young. The War for Independence had been won only twenty years previous.

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    “Ai-ee! I see them!” panted Iskatappe, over his shoulder, and pointing to the west. “The Spanish!” “It may be running buffalo, or a big wind,” answered Skidi.“Shall we halt and wait?” proposed Letalesha. “No. It is they. It does not move fast enough for buffalo or wind. It is on this side of the river. We will cross the river and hide on the other side. Then we will be safe,” ordered Iskatappe. ... Read more

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    A large collection of Indian tribes inhabiting the Southwest. They first are mentioned in 1598 by the early Spanish explorers in New Mexico.

  • Opening the Iron Trail: Terry as a U. Pay. Man A Semi-Centennial Story

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    The rousing chant rang gaily upon the thin air of Western spring. Sitting Jenny, the old yellow mule, for a moment’s breather while the load of rails was being swept from his flat-car truck, Terry Richards had to smile. Nobody knew who invented that song. Some said Paddy Miles, the track-laying boss—and it did sound like Pat. At any rate, the lines had made a hit, until already their words were ... Read more

  • Easy Come, Easy Go

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin ...
    To the beef round-up camp, now in the last stages of the hectic trail, there arrived, seeking the 77 outfit as by tryst, a party of four in a buckboard—driving in at noon, across the brown parched plains, timely to the cook’s shrill yelp, “Come an’ get it!” They were, to wit: a stout ruddy man, a younger man, and two dazzling girls of garb femininely adapted to the Wild West. The equipage pulled ... Read more

  • Desert Dust

    by Edwin Legrand Sabin, J. Clinton Shepherd ...
    In the estimate of the affable brakeman (a gentleman wearing sky-blue army pantaloons tucked into cowhide boots, half-buttoned vest, flannel shirt open at the throat, and upon his red hair a flaring-brimmed black slouch hat) we were making a fair average of twenty miles an hour across the greatest country on earth. It was a flat country of far horizons, and for vast stretches peopled mainly, as ... Read more
