It was a fatiguing journey. We rode in heavy marching or- der, and dismounted at every hill to save our horses, walking both up and down. A wagon, carrying forage and provisions, lum- bered after us. We had dinner at Wades- ville, where we picketed our horses, and reached our destination at about five o'clock. We put up our horses in a stable and spent the night in the bare, empty drill hall of one 46 A trooper's narrative. I of the local military companies. At eight the next morning we started... homewaird, breaking the ride again with a midday lunch- eon in a road by a wood where we set up the picket line under the trees and ate our meal in the shade upon the grassy banks. We gal- loped briskly for the last few miles, glad to get back to camp, most of us sore and aching from the unaccustomed effort. All this was only preparatory to the actual service that awaited us. The papers brought news daily of the progress of the strike and increased violence on the part of the miners. We were required to wear side arms, with ammuni- tion, when we left the camp, and always rode with flankers out, with loaded carbines advanced, when we passed through the mining towns.
