198 THl:. ADVENTURES OF 



CHAPTER XXII. 



CONCLUSION. 



And now dear reader as the space allotted 

 to this little book is taken I will say a lew 

 words by wMy of conclusion and bid you 

 adieu. I wish only to say in conclusion that 

 in this little book is no attempt at fancitul 

 destriptions of imaginary adventures or flow- 

 ery style of narration, but it has been my aim 

 to state only facts and these in the briefest 

 manner practicable, and if you do not consider 

 it sufficiently romantic and exciting please re- 

 member that it is not a dime novel, but, 

 so far as it goes, a true history of my life on 

 the plains. Ple.';se remember, also, that it 

 was hurriedly written while on a visit to my 

 old home and my aged father in Warrick Co., 

 Indiana, after an absence of sixteen years, and 

 that but few of my adventures are related, 

 though enough, I hope, to give you an idea of 

 the wild life I have led on the plains.
