The Adventures of "Antelope Bill" In the Indian War of 1862
Excerpt from The Adventures of "Antelope Bill" In the Indian War of 1862
In those days boat arrivals were infrequent, so we waited patiently and some days elapsed before the Jeanette Roberts loaded with supply of goods for the Indians rounded the bend of the river on her upward trip at the same time blowing her peculiar dull whistle. Our home was in the country but brother Henry and myself were in town. We went aboard the boat and saw the captain. It was eleven o'clock A. M. The boat would move up the river at three o'clock pm. Cabin fare was $5 and sterage fare was $2. Our pocket book being thin we took passage at $2 steerage. We went home, packed goods, and at three o'clock P. M., were on the boat. This was May 22nd 1862.
