GBEAT BIDES BY AMERICANS
THE. FEATS OF OUR SOLDIERS
AND PLAINSMEN BEAT
THE WORLD.
THE recent race of Austrian and
German officers between Berlin
and Vienna was thought of .suffi-cient
importance to cable dt tailed ac-counts
of it across the Atlantic, and it
has been made the text of innumerable
dissertations, more or less learned, on
the military value of the " lessons " to
be drawn from the performance. This
long distance ride was considered a
remarkable feat, and so it was, but
America can discount it in almost
every respect. The American soldier
and plainsman are so accustomed to
remarkable rides in the regular line of
duty that they take such feats as mat-ters
of course, and their astounding
achievements seldom find their way
into the newspapers; much less are
they cabled across seas and continents.
It is not easy to make a comparison
between the old and the new world
riding because the conditions are en-tirely
unlike, but this dissimilarity all
rebounds to the credit of the American.
The European race which set two con-tinents
talking was won by Count
Siahremberg, an Austrian, in seventy-one
hours and thirty-one minutes. The
cable reported the distance at 361
miles. Lieutenant Reitzenstein, the
first German to finish, required seventy-three
and one halfhours. The count's
weight was given at 128 pounds, and
hia animal carried little else than a
•addle and a bridle. This ride was
through a civilized, well settled country
over excellent roads, and every con-venience
had been arranged for before-hand.
The mounts were picked
animals selected for officers' use and
had been prepared for the ordeal.
The German's horse fell from exhaust-ion
at the end of the journey and the
Austrian's died the day after its
arrival in Berlin.
There are traditions of many won-derful
feats on the western plains, but
only such records as have been authen-ticated
will be considered. It should
be borne in mind that the long dis-tance
rides of American soldiers are
made on horses in regular service and
not on picked steeds. A military
authority says the impediment
of cavalrymen will weigh eighty-eight
pounds, and the riders will average
160 pounds, making a burden of' 288
pounds for each horse to carry. It
must also be remembered that the
American rides were made in a wild
country, often swarming with hostile
Indians, and most of them were
through rough mountain districts or
across parched and sandy plains that
afforded little food, water, shelter or
rest.
" BUFFALO BILL'S " GREAT FEAT.
Perhaps the American ride cor-responding
most nearly in distance
with the European performance was
that of William F. Cvdy (" Buffalo
Bill"), made in Kansas in 1868, when
the state was comparatively unknown.
We are not compelled to tak6 the
famous scout's word for his feat, for
General Phil Sheridan has left the re-cord
in his autobiography. That com-mander
started out in midwinter to
punish the troublesome redskins and
got as far as Hays City. The follow-ing
extract from Sheridan's memoirs
tells the story of the remarkable ride:
"Mr. William F. Cody (" Buffalo
Bill") was first brought to my notice
by distinguishing hiiaself in bringing
to me an important dispatch from Fort
Larned to Fort Hays, a distance of
sixty-five miles, through a section in-fested
with Indians. The dispatch in
formed me that the Indians near
Larned were preparing to decamp,
and this intelligence required that
certain orders should be carried to
Fort Dodge, ninety-five miles south of
Hays. This, too, being a particularly
dangerous route — several couriers
having been killed on it—it was im-possible
to get one of the various
Petes,' 'Jacks,' or 'Jims' hanging
around Hays City to take my com-munication.
Cody, learning of the
strait I WAS in, manfully came to the
rescue and proposed to make the trip
to Dodge, though he had just finished
his long and perilous ride from Larned.
I gratefully accepted his offer, and
after a short rest he mounted a fresh
horse and hastened on his journey,
halting but once to rest on the way,
and then only for an hour, the stop
being made at Coon Creek, where he
got another mount from a troop of
cavalry. At Dodge he took some
sleep, and then continued on to his
own post—Fort Larned—with more
dispatches. After resting at Larned
he was again in the saddle with tidings
for me at Fort Hays, General Hazen
sending him this time, with word that
the villagers had fled to the south of
tha Arkansas. Thus, in all, Cody
rode about 350 miles in less than sixty
hours, and such an exhibition of en-durance
and courage at that time of
the year and in such weather was
more than enough to convince me that
his services would be extremely valu
able in the campaign, so I retained
him at Fort Hays till the battalion
of the Fifth cavalry arrived, and then
made him chief of scouts."
PONY EXPRESS RIDERS BREAK RE
CORDS.
The pony express, established in
1860 to carry letters between the out
posts of civilization on the Missouri
river and in the mining camps of Cali-fornia,
was productive of many notable
riders. The distance from St. Joseph
to San Francisco was 1,996 miles.
The first trip was made in ten days,
the second in fourteen, the third and
many others in nine. The riders had
divisions of 100 to 140 miles to cover,
»nd there were relays of horses at dis-tances
of twenty to twenty-five miles.
In each corner of the faddle was a
pouch for letters, and in order to keep
the weight at the minimum the arms
of the rider were reduced to a revolver
and a knifr. Night and day, in rain
and sunshine, in winter's cold and
summer's heat, across parched plains
and over rugged mountain trails, these
hardy plainsmen roda their tough
steeds at breakneck speed.
The late James A. Moore, the first
post trader at Sidney, Neb., made a
ride which may well lay claim to being
the most remarkable on record. He
was at Midway station in western
Nebraska on June 8, 1860, when a
very important government dispatch
for the Pacific coast arrived. Mount-ing
his pony he sped on to Julesburg,
Col., 140 miles away, and he got every
inch of speed out of his mounts. At
Julesburg he met another important
government dispatch for Washington.
The rider who should have carried the
dispatch east had been killed the day
before. After a rest of only seven
minutes, and without eating a meal,
Moore started for Midway, and he
made the round trip, 280 miles, in
fourteen hours and forty-six minutes.
The west-bound dispatch reached
Sacramento from St. Joseph in eight
days, nine hours and forty minutes.
" Buffalo Bill " was one of the riders
of this overland mail service, and Mr.
Buell's "History of the Plains " makes
this record of one of hia notable feats :
"While riding pony express between
Red Buttes and Three Crossings,
seventy-six miles, Cody had a danger-ous
and lonely route, including the
crossing of the North Platte river, one-half
mile wide, often much swollen and
tuibulent. An average of fifteen miles
had to be made, including change of
horses, detours for safety and time for
meals. On reaching Three Crossings,
finding the rider of the next diyision,
a route of eighty-six miles, had been
killed during the night before, he made
the trip on time. This round trip of
324 miles was made without a stop
except for meals and change of horses,
oneof the longest and best ridden pony
express rides ever made."
In 1860 the pony express made one
trip from St Joseph to Denver, 625
miles, in two days and twenty-one
hours.
Edward Creighton of Omaha built
the firsf overland telegraph, and in
looking over the route in 1860 he got
as far as Salt Lake City, when it be-came
important for him to finish the
journey to the coast in a very short
time. He thereupon took horse and,
for safety, company and guidance, kept
pace with the several pony express
riders all the way to Marysville, Cal.
He was in the saddle something over
four days and four nights and must
have traveled nearly 600 miles, much
of the distance through a literal desert
and over rugged mountains. -
Few long distance rides in America
have been made for prizes or wagers,
but there is one remarkable perform-ance
of that kind on record. A
frontiersman named F. X. Aubrey
galloped from Santa Fe to Indepen-dence,
Mo., in a few hours less than
seven days. The distance was 840
miles, and the rider had four changes
of horses. He won a wager of $1,000,
but he had to be lifted from his horse
at the end of his journey.
COLONEL HENRY'S ". BUFFALOES."
Many remarkable rides have been
made in the army service of the west,
but so modest is the average officer
that it requires considerable research
to unearth the records. Probably the
most recent of these feats; was that of
Colonel Guy Y. Henry's command
during the Indian trouble two years
ago in South Dakota. The command
consisted of three troops of colored
soldiers of the Ninth cavalry and a
Hotchkiss battery.
They had been scouting for a week
in the Bad Lands. At 9:30 on the
morning of December 20, 1890, they
started out on a scout that covered 42
miles and they returned to camp about
4 in the afternoon. At 8:30 P. M.
news of the battle of Wounded Knee
was received and an hour later the
party was enroute for Pine Ridge
agency, which was reached at 5:30
A. M , after a ride of 45 miles. Two
hours later a courier reported an at-tack
on the wagon train, which had
been left behind, and the " Buffaloes/'
as the colored soldiers were called,
dashed back 2 miles to the rescue.
Th'e Indians were driven off in a short
skirmish, in which one trooper was
killed. The command had hardly re-turned
to camp and unsaddled when
it was out with the Seventh cavalry to
the mission building, six miles distant,
which was burning. Colonel Henry
asked for two hours to feed the horses
and rest the men, which was granted.
At noon a courier reported the Seventh
hard pressed, and "boots and saddles"
was again sounded. The Seventh was
met near the mission, and under cover
of the fire of the Hotchkiss guns both
regiments withdrew to the agency,
arriving at 4 o'clock P. M. of Decem-ber
30.
In thirty and one-half hours Colonel
Henry's battalion had marched 102
miles and fought two skirmishes with
the Indians. The actual time in the
saddle was twenty-two hours. In ad-dition
to the usual pack each horse
carried a blanket lined cover aud 240
rounds of ammunition, weighing about
twenty-five pounds. One animal drop-ped
dead after returning from the mis-sion
and another two days later. Those
were the only casualities and there was
not a sore backed horse in the lot.
This ride was over a rough country in
winter weather. Twenty-four hours
later the ''Buffaloes" were again in the
saddle, little the worse for their hard
marches. For this feat Colonel Henry,
now stationed at Fort Myer in
Virginia, was warmly recommended
by General Miles for a brevet briga-dier
general.
TWO PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCES.
Colonel T. H. Stanton, now station-ed
at Omaha as paymaster of the de-partment
of the Platte, is to be credited
with one of the remarkable rides of the
seryice. During the Indian troubles
of 1876 he was commissioned to carry
dispatches from Fort Laramie, in
Wyoming, to Fort Robinson, in
Nebraska, a distance of 100 miles. He
made the trip on one horse for twelve
hours, between noon and midnight.
There was no road except for the last
twelve miles, and he had to make his
way across country trom his knowledge
of the lay of the land. The last four
hours were ridden in darkness. The
colonel was accompanied by four half
breeds, among whom was Baptiste,
often mentioned by Captain John
Bourke in his writings of the frontier.
The next day two Iudians on fresh
horses made the return trip in twelve
hours. These two rides resulted 'in
keeping the Cheyennes from joining
the Sioux and saved the government
thuch money, to say nothing of lives.
Another notable performance oc-curred
in 1879 during the Indian up-rising
which resulted in the Meeker
massacre in Colorado. Colonel Thorn-burg
had started to the relief of the
agency, but about noon of the third
day his command was surrounded by
the enemy in a valley, and the colonel
was killed early in the engagement.
The troops made breast works of their
horses, many of which were killed, and
spent the afternoon on the defensive.
That night Sergeant Murphy and a
private broke through the cordon of
redskins on two chargers and started
for relief. In a little less than twenty-four
hours the sergeant rode 170 miles
and reached General Merritt's com-mand
in Wyoming. Merritt started
with four troops of cavalry and with a
battalion of infantry in wagons. Thus
handicapped, he covered the 170 miles
in fifty-four and one-half hours, and
his command was in condition to go
into a fight at once. When it is re
membered what Murphy had under-gone
during the preceding three days,
his ride through a mountainous coun-try,
over ill defined trails, and much
of it at night, must stand as a phe-nomenal
performance.
Oa this same occasion Captain F . S.
Dodge matched his command eighty
miles in sixteen hours. Lieutenant
Wood of the Fourth cayalry and his
troop rode seyenty miles in twelve
hours and came in fresh.
OTHER GREAT ARMY RIDES.
In 1879 four men of company H.
First cayalry, bore dispatches from
Fort Harney to Fort Warner, 140
miles, over a bad road—twenty of it
sand—with little and bad water, in
twenty-two hours, eighteen and one-half
of which was actual marching
time. The horses were in such good
condition at the end of the ride that
after one day's rest the men started
back, and made the home trip at the
rate of sixty miles a day.
In 1880 LieutenantRobertson, First
cavalry, rode from Fort Lapwai to
Fort Walla, 102 miles, over the snow,
deep in places, in twenty-three and
one-half hours; and, starting next
morning, rode back in two days.
In 1877, while Chief Joseph was
rampant, General Miles sent Captain
Ezra B. Fuller aud five men out on a
scout to discover the wily hostile's
whereabouts. They left Fort Keogh
with a horse apiece and traveled
through a mountainous country, where
they found only three feeds of grain.
The captain returned after a short
rest at Fort Ellis, making the round
trip of 850 miles in five days. Some
of the men extended the scout still
further and covered 600 miles in
twelve days.
General Miles himself has a record
for fast riding that it is to this day the
admiration oi the cowboys in the south-west.
After the surrender of Geronimo
to Crook in 1885 Miles took command
of Uncle Sam's forces in that region,
and he rode from Huachie into New
Mexico, a distance of 150 miles, in
thirteen hours, only stopping to change
horses.
In 1882 Lieutenant Bell of the
Seventh cavalry rode 105 miles
through the Bad Lands in North Da-kota
in about twelve hours with one
change of horses.
In 1873 Colonel McKenzie rode his
command into Mexico after Lepan
and Kickapoo Indians, beat them in a
sharp fight and returned across the
border, making 145 uiiles in twenty-eight
hours. The following year he
made a dash into Mexico after horse
thieves and covered eighty-five miles
in fifteen hours.
Colonel Lawton once took a troop
of cavalry from the Red Cloud agency
to Sidney, Neb., 125 miles, in twenty-four
hours. One of his scouts named
Edwardy, on another occasion rode
seven days and nights in Sierra Madve
mountains and covered 4Q5 miles on
oue horse.
In 1880 Captain Wood and eight
men in pursuit of an absconding order-ly
sergeant made 140 miles in thirty-one
hours and not a horse was injured.
Captain Fountain once rode eighty-four
miles in eight hours and at another
time traveled 110 miles in twenty-three
hours.
GREAT STAGING RECORDS.
Stage coaching is a little foreign to
the subject in hand, but a few records
will be of interest in this connection,
to show what Americans are capable
of doing. In 1864 Ben Holladay, the
owner of the overland stage, made the
trip from Folsom, Cal., to Atchison,
Kan., in twelve days and two hours.
The distance was nearly 2,000 miles.
Holladay had special coaches and the
trip cost him several thousand dollars,
many horses being ruined by the
furious driving.
Iu 1865 Schuyler Colfax, ac-companied
by Sam Bowles of the
Springfieid Republican, and Albert
Richardson, the war correspondent,
traveled from Atchison to Denver, 620
miles, in four aud one-half days. From
Salt Lake to Virginia City the distance
was 575 miles, and they made it in
seventy-two hours, one stretch of eight
miles being covered in thirty-two
mioutes. A stretch of seventy-two
miles into Piacerville was made in
seven hours, including stops. This
was the piece of road on which Horace
Greely had his celebrated experience
with Hank Monk.
Prom the Fair or Near It.
School bad opened after the summer
vacation and the teacher was question-ing
the little boys and girls about what
they had been doing in the way of re-creation.
Suddenly up spoke Johnnie
Jones:
" My mamma and papa went to the
World's Fair."
" W hat did they bring you home,
Johnnie ?" queried the teacher.
" A souvenir spoon, marm."
" Did it have any words on it ?"
" Yes'm,' For a good boy.' "
Teacher looked oyer the smiling
faces and observed Sammy Klepto,
evidently waiting his turn.
" Did your mother and father go to
the Fair, Sammy ?'' she asked.
" Yes, marm, they brought me a big
silver spoon."
" What words were on yours ?"
" 'Palmer House,' marm."
