In on Interview with Major John M.
Burke, of tho Wild West Shows, at the
Piedmont a few days ago, the major
was telling some of his recollections of
war times concerning General Eugene
A. Carr, especially an old Indian fight'
er as well as a Civil war veteran, a
man who, he says, was not os well
known os Grant and some others, but
who was on the firing line at Vicks
burg and most of the lnrge battles of
the Civil war. General Carr Is now
retired and living In Washington.
It was In the early fifties that Gen-
oral Carr went West, In the land of his
schooling, which was then alive with
hostile Indians, and thero ho received
the schooling which was afterwords of
use to him In the' Civil war. In 1854
ho was wounded by an Indian arrow
and narrowly escaped death. Three
times he was reported dead, but each
time he had been severely wounded.
His experience In strategy and Indian
warfare made him one of the best-
equipped officers In the Federal army
during the war between the States.
After the war, when Qenerat Phil Sher
idan Inaugurated the new system of
hunting, trailing and pursuing the red
men. at all times General Carr was one
of his most reliable lieutenants In the
West, as his cautious strategy and dar
ing dash made him a particularly ef
fective Indian fighter. From tho first
time they met Buffalo Bill and he were
fast friends, and no one Is more eulo
gistic of the old scout than his accom
plished commander, E. A. Carr.
Indians Outgeneraled.
General Carr was In command of the
body of cavalry that fought In the bat
tle of Summit Hill, which Is represent
ed In Buffalo Bill's Wild West perform
ance, and It was owing to his strategy
that It was such a victor}', as It really
was one of the most powerful blows
ever delivered to the red men. The
band of Indians concerned had been
committing depredations, and had In
their possession hundreds of horses and
cattle and several white women and
children. They had eluded the pursu
ing forces for six months. General Carr,
seeing that he was not going to be
able to catch them openly decided on
a piece of strategy wMch did the work.
He started as tf be were going to return
his forces to tho fort and leave the In
dians. For two days ho continued the
retreat, his Indian scouts Informing him
that he was followed by some of the
Indians to be sure his move was defi
nite. Finally he received word that
he was no longer followed, and, burn
ing bis wagon train, he started In pur
suit of the savages. Buffalo Bill fig
ured that they were traveling two days
to the Indians' one, and they would
meet at Summit Hill, so they prepared
to surprise the Indians. Tho surprise
was complete, os was .the victory. The
Indians were sleeping In fancied secu
rity when the United States cavalry
come sweeping down on them. Gen
eral Carr received the thanks of the
legislatures of Colorado, Nebraska and
Kansas for this victory. In the follow.

It Is seen of what Importance this bat
tle was held at that time:

St. Louie, July 19, 18(9.—Omaha
dispatches say that Oeneral Augur re
turned from Fort Sedgwick this morn
ing. General Carr’s victory Is more
complete than at first reported. Over
400 horses and mules were captured,
with a large quantity of powder and
nearly five tons of dried buffalo meat.
Among the kilted Is the noted chief.
Tall Bull, killed by Cody, chief of
scouts. About 1900 was found In camp.
which was given to Mrs. Wetsell, a
white ,woman who was captured. This
was the same body of Indians who last
year fought General Forsyth, and re
cently committed depredations In Kan
sas.”
At the Big Horn.
Major Burke also referred with pleas
ure to the engagement ten years later
In 1876 at the Big Horn, and gives a
press report of that day, showing what
woa thought of William F. Cody, "Buf.
falo Bill,” In those days.

"Before sunset the Fifth cavalry, to
whom couriers had been sent and who
for a few hours had lost reckoning os
to their whereabouts, marched Into the
valley with their supply wagons close
to their heels. The appearance of the
regiment was fine, despite the dust and
fatigue of the march, and gladdened
tho eyes of every one who had been
awaiting their arrival. They numbered
550 effective men besides the officers.
There are ten companies here, as fol
lows: A, commanded by Lieutenant A.
G. Woolson; B, commanded by Cap
tain G. F. Price; D, Captain S. S.
Huthmer; F, Captain J. S. Payne; G,

‘Companies H and L of the Fifth,
Captains Hamilton and Taylor, are now
atattonod at tho Red Cloud Armory,
together with ten companies of the
Fifth cavalry, which have been ordered
hither. AH of them are under the com
mand of Major G. A. Gordon.
Pralae for Colonel Cody.
“William Cody, the celebrated Buf
falo Bill, arrived with Oeneral Merritt,
and la undoubtedly alone a strong re
inforcement of the Intelligent efficiency
of tha force In the field. In the recent
scout after the Cheyennes, who were
attempting to Join Bitting Bull, he dis
played all the old bravery and deadly
prowess which have made him a hero
In the hearts of the worshipers of melo
drama and tales of adventures. He Is
the finest scout now In active service.
The Indian auxiliaries were delighted,
to behold the Tieap pony soldier' arrive'
yesterday, for they had begun to be
lieve that the white chief was pos
sessed of a forked tongue, and that he
would receive no euocor. The fighting
forces of tbs command moved forward
at once.
“During the campaign Buffalo Bill
added to his laurels by many daring
scouting exploits, killing Chief Yellow
Hand In a personal encounter at War
Bonnett Creek, and eventually guiding
the combined commands of Generals
Merritt, Carr and Crook to the de
signed junction with General Terry's
command that had reached the be
leaguered forces of Generals Reno and
Banteen on the Bluffs, opposite side of
the Big Horn, after their decisive and
costly repulse In attempting to aid
General Custer."
Visit from Cadets. '
Colonel Howes, commandant of the
West Point Military Academy, and one
of tho greatest sign readers of the
country, spent quite a little time, when
Buffalo Bill's Wild West performance
was In New York, Interviewing the In
dians and stndvlng their sign language.
He was Immensely Interested In the
the management of the show. He wns
especially Interested In the battle scene,
which Is .the representation of the bat
tle of Summit Hill, and says there la a
great object lesson for the soldiers of
the army, as they can see what was
done by their grandfathers. He also
complimented the riding performances
and received permission of the war de
partment In Washington to take the
cadets from West Point to New York
to see the performances. Captain Kel
ly, one of the Instructors at West Point,
wrote the following article to the Ar
my and Navy Journal In an account of
the trip:
"While the majority of the people
who go to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West
look upon It merely as a show, the ca
dets of the West Point United States
Military Academy, who had the good
fortune to eee It recently In New York,
appreciated the fact that they were
given an opportunity, to see a reproduc
tion of a phnse of Western life that has
now passed Into history. To them It
was not a show that appealed, but the
history that the show portrays.
"Col. Cody hlinself was so Intimately
connected with the army of the West
In Its Indian campaigns and was so
Important a factor In many of Its most
notable achievements, that he will be
forever held by the army of the United
States In the same high esteom that he
la now held, especially by those who
fought with him on the plains.”
Brigadier General "Jack" Hayes (re
tired), now United States military rep
resentative at Jamestown, was with
General Carr In the 1869 campaign and
wns also present In 1876 when Buffalo
Bill killed Yellow Hand, as was Gener
als Dudley and Sumner. They are rep.
resentatlves of the class of veterans
who have visited the exhibition this
season—“men who know Bill Cody."
