A Civil War Veteran, enrolled in the army on the first day of May in 1863 at Ft. Blunt Cn. in Fort Smith, AR. He was in Co. L 14th Regiment of Kansas Cavalry. He was mustered in as a private on the 19th day of October in 1863 at Ft. Scott, Kansas. He was mustered out as Sergeant and honorably discharged with company June 25, 1865 at Ft. Gibson Cn.
"I was detailed by General Bluntto to go to Baham, Texas and find out the true condition of the Southern Army. I left Ft. smith, AR on April 14, 1864. After we reached Mt. Pleasant we were suspicioned as spies, we fled and were pursued by a force from the confederate army. After traveling 4 days and nights, we stopped to graze our horses and were attacked by our pursuers. I had my horse shot and killed and I was shot in the head. Two more were shot and wounded and one was killed. We killed 3 of their party and wounded 2 more. This was on the 19th day of April 1864 on our return to headquarters at Ft. Smith, AR. The attack was made on the Kimish River in the Choctaw Nation. We were attacked by a command of whites and Indians. I was shot in the back part of my head. I succeeded after I came to getting another horse and making my escape, although we were pursued until the afternoon of the next day."
