IB Hamlin Garland got the idea which was developed to "The Captain of tho Gray Horse Troop," re cently -published by the Harpers, as far back as 1807. At that time he went in company with a young lieutenant who was stationed at Fort Custer to see him inspect a drove of cattle which had been brought into the Crow Indian Agency for sale to the government, for the use of Indians. The lieutenants, noting the poor condition of the animals, rejected the entire herd, in spite of the demonstrative anger of the cattlemen. Mr. Garland was impressed by the undaunted action and a few words of the young army officer, and the character of Captain Curtis took form in his hand. It set lum wondering as to the possible power of a man like that if he were appointed Indian agent. The lieutenant who inspired the thought is now a captain, and is the head of the Forestry Department in l-c Phillipines. New York Tribune. |
