After marching three days, a little to the east of north, we reached the buffalo range and discovered fresh signs of Indians, who had evidently been killing buffaloes. General Terry now called on me to carry despatches to Colonel Rice, who was still camped at the mouth of Glendive Creek, on the Yellowstone, distant about eighty miles from us.
Colonel Rice was the inventor of this weapon, and it proved very useful in Indian warfare. It is just as deadly in a charge as the regular bayonet, and can also be used almost as effectively as a shovel for digging rifle-pits and throwing up intrenchments. The Far West was to remain at Glendive overnight.
On the 15th of September, 1881, Boyton arrived at the terminus of the railroad at Glendive, Montana, then a little town made up of rough board houses and tents, which was the highest point on the Yellowstone he could reach. He went to a hotel and asked if he could be accommodated with a room. "I reckon you can," said the landlord, "there's only sixty in there now."

General Merritt was in command of the post at Glendive and did everything in his power to assist Paul in his preparations.

In January, 1913, the women met in Helena and formed a permanent State organization, electing the following officers: Chairman, Miss Rankin, Missoula; assistant chairmen, Mrs. Louis P. Sanders, Butte; Mrs. G. M. Gillmore, Glendive; secretary, Mrs. Harvey Coit, Big Timber; treasurer, Mrs.
During the last evening spent at the post, the General asked him what time he would start in the morning. "At five o'clock," was the answer. "For goodness sake," facetiously replied the General, "don't start so early. At that time our sentries sleep the soundest." The river at Glendive is narrow and quite shoal, the channel not being more than eighteen inches deep.
Glendive was a county seat, and with the assistance of the sheriff, we soon had every buffalo hunter in the town corralled. They were a fine lot of rough men, inclined to be convivial, and with the assistance of Sheriff Wherry, coupled with the high standing of the quarantine captain, on a soldier's introduction Dave and I made a good impression among them.
At Glendive we had a dim supper, and I bought some blankets; and after that it was late, and sleep occupied the attention of us all. We lay along the shelves of the caboose, a peaceful sight I should think, in that smoothly trundling cradle.
