I was born in<br/>Princeton, Missourri, May 1st, 1852. Father and mother were<br/>natives of Ohio. I had two brothers and three sisters, I being the<br/>oldest of the children. As a child I always had a fondness for<br/>adventure and out-door exercise and especial fondness for<br/>horses which I began to ride at an early age and continued to do<br/>so until I became an expert rider being able to ride the most<br/>vicious and stubborn of horses, in fact the greater portion of my<br/>life in early times was spent in this manner.<br/><br/>In 1865 we emigrated from our homes in Missourri by the<br/>overland route to Virginia City, Montana, taking five months to<br/>make the journey. While on the way the greater portion of my<br/>time was spent in hunting along with the men and hunters of<br/>the party, in fact I was at all times with the men when there was<br/>excitement and adventures to be had. By the time we reached<br/>Virginia City I was considered a remarkable good shot and a<br/>fearless rider for a girl of my age. I remember many<br/>occurrences on the journey from Missourri to Montana. Many<br/>times in crossing the mountains the conditions of the trail were<br/>so bad that we frequently had to lower the wagons over ledges<br/>by hand with ropes for they were so rough and rugged that<br/>horses were of no use. We also had many exciting times fording<br/>streams for many of the streams in our way were noted for<br/>quicksands and boggy places, where, unless we were very<br/>careful, we would have lost horses and all. Then we had many<br/>dangers to encounter in the way of streams swelling on account<br/>of heavy rains. On occasions of that kind the men would usually<br/>select the best places to cross the streams, myself on more than<br/>one occasion have mounted my pony and swam across the<br/>stream several times merely to amuse myself and have had<br/>many narow escapes from having both myself and pony washed<br/>away to certain death, but as the pioneers of those days had<br/>plenty of courage we overcame all obstacles and reached<br/>Virginia City in safety.<br/><br/>Mother died at Black Foot, Montana, 1866, where we<br/>buried her. I left Montana in Spring of 1866, for Utah, arriving<br/>at Salt Lake city during the summer. Remained in Utah until<br/>1867, where my father died, then went to Fort Bridger,<br/>Wyoming Territory, where we arrived May 1, 1868, then went<br/>to Piedmont, Wyoming, with U.P. Railway. Joined General<br/>Custer as a scout at Fort Russell, Wyoming, in 1870, and<br/>started for Arizona for the Indian Campaign. Up to this time I<br/>had always worn the costume of my sex. When I joined Custer I<br/>donned the uniform of a soldier. It was a bit awkward at first<br/>but I soon got to be perfectly at home in men's clothes.<br/>... https://www.reverbnation.com/rss/blog_comments47841
