SERGEANT NOONAN EXPLAINS
'TAMES Noonan, private, 'B' Troop, made sergeant on the field I For leading charge on hostiles, compelling them to yield." That's the way the record reads, but, sure, it isn't so; Ye mind, I'm Sergeant Noonan and I guess I ought to know!
I'll tell ye how it happened, dead straight, without no frills. We'd tracked a Cheyenne war-band clean through the Black-snake Hills, Till, on the march one mornin', they jumped us from the right, Three hundred bucks in war-paint, well armed and full of fight. |
