This occupied us during the remainder of the summer.
Leaving the cattle in charge of Major North, I visited Red Cloud Agency early in the fall, and secured some Sioux Indians to accompany me on my theatrical tour of 1877-78.

Taking my family and the Indians with me, I went directly to Rochester.

There I left my oldest daughter, Arta, at a young ladies' seminary, while my wife and youngest child traveled with me during the season.
I opened at the Bowery Theatre, New York, September 3d, 1877, with a new Border Drama entitled, "May Cody, or Lost and Won," from the pen of Major A.S.Burt, of the United States army.

It was founded on the incidents of the "Mountain Meadow Massacre," and life among the Mormons.

It was the best drama I had yet produced, and proved a grand success both financially and artistically.
