BATTLE-FlELD, JUNE 25, 1 926 348 I SEE MYSELF A LAD MY LIFE EAST
AND WEST MY LIFE EAST AND WEST CHAPTER I WHITE GOLD A black night
on the Western prairie a fear-crazed, unbroken colt lunging along a
dimly marked trail a ten-year-old boy, his only garment a nightgown
riding bareback, one hand tangled in the mane of a flying animal y
the other clutching the rope of a hacka more a frightened boy
dragged from sleep and sent on a wild mid night ride seeking help
to prevent a murder. A black night pierced dimly and intermittently
through a misty fog by street gas-lamps a heavily loaded ice-wagon
its scale irons clanking dismally against its sides, lumbering over
rough cobbled pavements a man and a dozing boy of fourteen the
first and second hands on the drivers seat. The man jerks his lines
and clucks to his team. An hour s journey brings dawn and the man
will be at the back of the wagon weighing ice and the boy climbing
New York tenement stairways, with ice upon his back. I WAS bom at
Newburgh, New York. My first recollec tion is of Oswego, Illinois,
My father was a miller, and we lived near the flour mill on the Fox
Riven There were only two houses. It was springtime. The ice had
broken up and was cumbrously and slowly grinding its way
down-river. The out-of-banks torrent was still raging, however, and
here and there a large slab of ice would be picked up by the very
force of the current and dashed hurtling through the air, 3
