Special to the Globe:
In recounting the history ot the
24tfc U. S. Infantry, I am confronted
with a pleasure that is likewise a
task. To embrace in one sheet all of
tbe deeds of gallantry, bravery, kind
ness and courage of the 24th U. S.
Infantry would require a volume that '
in its very enormity would discourage
the efforts of any historian to do full
justice to the valor and fidelity of
the 24th U. Si. Infantry would require
the ability of Shakespeare and .the
perseverance of ' Bacon. I have
neither, so my ambition must be re
stricted to a modest mention of gome
of the principal events in the life of
the regiment.
The 24th II. S. Infantry came into
being In 1S69 as a result of the eon
solidatlon of the 38th and 41st la
fantry. This was occasioned by an act
of Congress reducing tho number of
Infantry regiments in the U. S. Army.
The brilliant record of the 24th U.
8. Infantry, the results of this com
bination has demonstrated as no other
fact could. The wisdom of this legis
lation could the farmer of that act
tut review the score of the 24th U.
'8, Infantry he would burst with pride
at hid foresight.
The first commander of the regi
irient was Brigadier General Ronald
8. McKinzie, and to him is due much
of the credit for Its high character,
he was as stately a man as ever
donned a spur and his military bear
ing was the ideal and inspiration of
his men.
The first station of the 24th U. S.
Infantry was along the southern edge
of the slaked plains jot Texas. The
regiment was broken up and scat
tered along a frontier of three, hun
dred and twenty miles. It was a wild
and rugged a country then as tbe
most ambitious prospector could wish.
At the interior posts the officer lived !
tbe inspiring life of the frontier,
shooting buffalo eder, the numerous
other wild game so. abundant in this

Geographically the station was ideal
being near the Mexican border, where
the climate was high, dry and Invig
orating, life was some what wild in
those days for the big boundless ex
panse of prairie lent itself admirably
to the red Spanish life with its padre,
its alcalde, its gutiar, its fandango
and its sinorites. The remembrance
' of this still stirs the blood of the very
few "old timers" who underwent this
experience. At this time Col. Abner
Doubleday, a hero of Fort Sumpter
and Corps Commander at Gettysburg,
came into command of the 24th U.
8. Infantry, and the regiment was
transferred to Fort Ring, gold In the
Spring to Seventy-two, this was the
land of the Chapparal, the ebony tree,
the Senorlta, the clgarrette and the
mescal. The youngsters took all but

discomforts of the wilderness, its duty
, was to seek out true and substantial
pleasure.
. During the eleven years that the
regiment was stationed here long
inarches and scouting expeditions
were taken into the Indian country
for the purpose of suppressing minor
insurrections, and uprisings amonk the
red skins and to make maps of the
country. Maps thus made are so
authentic that they are now frequent
ly referred to when accuracy is
desirable. In 1880, the regiment went
into Indian territory for the purpose
of taking oarge of the Indians there

My saw the hardest time the regl
t nt' has ever had. In this year
tfcs ' were transferred v,from Indian
. . Ini n Territory to New Mexico and
., ArL na. Great discomfort was ex
perlt ed here on account of the dry
climate and hot temperature. The
neat was intense and the air was thick
with fljes. The nights were spent in
restless tossing and praying for day,
" and the days were spent praying for
Bight to shield their cracked skins
:. from the glaring rays of the sun. The
duty here was to protect the few
ettlers from the terrorizing raids of
the redoubtable "Apache Kid." The
regiment remained here until 1895 or
1897. when it wai decided to send It
OF THE
S. INFANTRY
to Fort Douglas Utah. The first post
of civilization the regiment had seen
since itsT organization, twenty years
before. So great was the prejudice
of the people ot Salt Lake City
against the Colored soldier whom
they had never seen, and a special
delegation went to Washington, D. C.
for the purpose of discouraging this
transfer, but to no avail, and the regi
ment was moved there.
The bearing behavior and deport
ment of tho soldiers here, however,
were of such a high character that on
the first anniversary of Its arrival,
the biggest and leading newspaper
there nuietly took occasion to editor-
ally publish an extensive article re
lating the fact of the pre-arrival pro
judice against the regiment and
apoligized for its Btating that the de-
meanor of the soldiers had astounding

of its departure for Cuba, the occasion
was observed by the entire city of
Salt Lake, and the greatest honor
was paid.- The streets were literally

with people, business was suspended
