I am only relating the incidents in which I was personally interested either as one of the actors or as an observer.
Another interesting and I may say exciting episode happened to me a day or two after my unexpected meeting with Wild Bill.

I was riding with the advance guard of our army, and wishing a drink of water, I stopped at a farmhouse.

There were no men about the premises, and no one excepting a very fine and intellectual looking lady and her two daughters.

They seemed to be almost frightened to death at seeing me--a "yank"-- appear before them.

I quieted their fears somewhat, and the mother then asked me how far back the army was.
