Charles St. BALTIMORE T«l•phone, Plata 3810 There is no event in American history that has been so inexcusably misdescribed, distorted and so made a subject of fancy, hallucination and falsehood as the Custer Massacre. Pake "survivors" or "witnesses" began to appear and to narrate fantastic and untruthful tales within a month from the day Custer fell; and hardly a month passes, even now, but that some new disciple of Munchausen arises with an absurd and easily disp*roven story. Even some of the real surrvivors of th ebattle have caught the habit and have flirted with the truth in order to make heroes of themselves. Believe me, when I say that if all the alleged "survivors" were genuine; if all the "witnesses" who clai mto have seen the passing of Custer and his command had really been among those present, the array of "witnesses" and "survivors" would almost rival the strength of the regiment. The truth is that of Custer's immediate command—the five troops he led down the river ~af ter he. sent Reno across to attack, there was no survivor. Every one was killed. And the truth also is that, saving and excepting Indians who took part in the fight, there were no witnesses to the massacre. I have yet to see a single "survivor" or "witness" story (and I think I have read them all), which does not contain within itself the unmistakable earmarks of fraud and falsity, whe nchecked against the established and proven facts.

The supreme type of American woodsmen appears to have been found in the Ohio Valley during and just after the American Revolution of 1776-81. Here was the greatest forest on the continent, here the greatest need of supreme woods ability, and here the white race developed its utmost timber wilderness tact. By woodcraft, we mean the ability to take care of one's self in the woods, and to utilize natural conditions to the utmost in life, living and ambitions. Lewis Wetzel was perhaps the ablest woodsman of them all. He knew the language of the woods so well that he could toll an Indian up by mocking a turkey-gobbler—and kill the Indian. He entered the woods with his rifle, knife and tomahawk, flint and ammunition, to live on what was there—all wild meats, nuts, berries and provenderr. He clothed himself in the skins, and earned his money shooting animals for their meat, killing Indians for bounty and serMj&j hides. He could start from a tree with his flintlock empty, race at top speed, and turn at a hundred feet or so and shoot on the instant, plumbing the center. He repeatedly attack- $wm Albert F Coetze INC.
