Thomas ThorsonNARRATOR
General Richard Irving Dodge, General Sherman's chief of staff, correctly states in his Thirty Years Among Wild Indians, The success of every expedition against Indians depends, to a degree, on the skill, fidelity, and intelligence of the men employed as scouts and guides.
Thomas ThorsonNARRATOR
For not only is a command habitually dependent on them for good routes and comfortable camps, but the officer in command must rely on their knowledge of the position and movements of the enemy.
Thomas ThorsonNARRATOR
Our best Indian officers are quick to recognize these traits in those claiming frontier lore, and to no one in the military history of the West has such deference been shown by them as to W.F. Cody, as is witnessed by the continuous years of service he has passed, the different commands he has served, the expeditions and campaign he has been identified with, his repeated holding, when he desired, of the position of chief of scouts of the United States Army, and the intimate association and contact resulting from it with General W.T. Sherman, with whom he was at the making of the Comanche and Kiowa Treaty in 1866, General Phil Sheridan, who has often given him special recognition and chosen him to organize expeditions, notably that of Duke Alexis, old General Harney, Generals Forsythe, Merritt, Brisbane, Emory, Gibbon, Terry, McKenzie, Carr, W.S. Hancock, Crook, Pope, Miles, Ord, Auger, Royal, Hazen, Duncan, Palmer, Penrose, and the late lamented General Custer.
Thomas ThorsonNARRATOR
His history, in fact, would be almost a history of the Middle West, and, though younger, equaling in terms of service and in personal adventure Kit Carson, old Jim Bridger, California Joe, Wild Bill, and the rest of his dead associates.
Thomas ThorsonNARRATOR
As another evidence of the confidence placed in his frontiersmanship, it may suffice to mention the celebrities whose money and position most naturally sought out the best protection the Western market could afford, and who chose to place their lives in this keeping.

Chapter eight, Letters of Commendation from Prominent Military Men.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
General Pershing is one of those men whom fortunately our army has never failed to produce in time of war, who, through their theoretical knowledge of the art of war and their practice in the leadership of men gained in minor warfare, are splendidly fitted by knowledge and experience to command successfully large armies in the face of a modern, well-trained enemy.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
As Pershing rode toward Washington on that long trip from Texas, the thought that he was a graduate of the same school of theory and practice which produced U.S. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and the majority of our great wartime leaders in battle must have given him confidence.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
Two questions undoubtedly presented themselves to his mind.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
How to transport an army overseas and how to serve alongside the French and British as allies.

Ted LinhartNARRATOR
General Pershing, who thoroughly knew our military history, knew that this was the mood which led to insistent demands for immediate action, regardless of conditions.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
He knew this was the state of mind which had led the public and the press to cry, on to Richmond in eighteen sixty-one, when our hastily raised troops were not ready.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
He knew that at the beginning of the Civil War, some wanted to put General Sherman in an insane asylum as crazy because he said it would last four years and wanted a large army.
Ted LinhartNARRATOR
He knew that in nineteen fourteen, Lord Kitchener had been violently criticized, not only by civilians but also in the British regular army, because he insisted on planning for a large army and a long war instead of sending his newly raised men in driblets to the front.

By what means was the city burned? Answer.
David WalesNARRATOR
By General Sherman's army of the United States troops.
David WalesNARRATOR
I saw a man with the uniform of a United States soldier on enter the store of Mr. Robert Bryce on the block immediately opposite where Mr.
David WalesNARRATOR
Brown kept his store and with a firebrand about four feet in length wrapped on one end with canvas put fire to the store of Mr. Bryce under the roof.
David WalesNARRATOR
The wind blew strong from the northwest at the time.
David WalesNARRATOR
Houses standing in detached grounds of from three to forty acres were burned at the same time.
David WalesNARRATOR
There were no other soldiers in the city at the time except the United States soldiers under General Sherman.
David WalesNARRATOR
A United States officer who was a perfect gentleman who was sick in my store told me that the city of Columbia would be burned that night, which was the night of the 17th of February 1865, and also explained to me the signals which would be used.
