From the introductory (p. 11) "In1919-1920, I wrote several booklets in which I ha described some of the early and more interesting events of a somewhat adventurous period of my life as a young officer of the Fourth U. S. Cavalry, including among them, that one tragical event which led to my earl retirement from active service, "Tragedies of Canon Blanco." See Six-Guns and Saddle Leather, p.#144 #479 and Wright-Howes p. 100, #196r Six-Guns is somewhat critical Captain Carter's writing. "The author devotes a chapter to the outlaw REd Mclaughlin and calls the Earps "the most desperate criminals Arizona ever knew. He is wrong however, in saying that Virgil Earp was killed in Willcox when the bartender hit him over the head with a whiskey bottle. Much of his information on Wild Bill Hickok is incorrect. He states that he was in Deadwood when Wild Bill was killed. Colonel Wheel, in his Frontier Trail, places the killing at Nuttall and Mann's Saloon; Wilstach says that it took place in the Bella Union;a nd Harry Young says the Sixty -Six Saloon. Most authors concede it happened in the No. 10 Saloon. The author also says that McCall was rearrested in Omaha. He was captured in Laramie, Wyoming. Captain Carter made well have made some mistakes, but his book is outstanding, interesting and it portrays in many ways the final days of the west. A must on any collection on the relation between the Solider and the Indian.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On the Trail of Deserters is a classic American history biography by Captain Robert Goldthwaite Carter. The year of 1871 had been so full of incidents and far reaching results for the Fourth Cavalry and its new Colonel, Ranald S. Mackenzie, that it is somewhat difficult to go back into the dim vistas of that period and select the one incident, or absorbing event which would be either of greatest magnitude or afford the most thrilling interest-- This item is printed on demand.
