His daring actions to carry the news the 350 miles to Ft. Laramie in 6 days of General George Crook\'s victory in the Battle of Slim Buttes furing the Great Sioux War made him instantly famous. After his stints in Buffalo Bill\'s Wild West Show and \"General Crook\'s Horsemeat March\", he served as a special agent for the U.S. Department of Justice spending 4 years investigating illegal liquor traffic and fighting alcoholism on Indian reservations.

In fact, his poem \"Only a Miner Killed\" has been said to be the basis for Bob Dylan\'s song \"Only a Hobo\". Only 1 institutional holding found on OCLC.
