other to tiie list of unusual things for
a scout to do. lie became the writer

ward Zane Carroll .Itidsou was the

Then th West called hltn and Jud-
son answered the call. During the
Civil war he was chief of scouts
among the Indians on the western fron-
tier, and after that he wandered all
over the great plains as hunter and
