They're going to bury him just ahead, in the trail. It's not best to leave headboards here." Wingate had fallen into a sort of apathy. For a time Woodhull did not speak to him after he also came in. "How is she, Mr. Wingate?" he asked at last. "She'll live?" "I don't know," replied the other. "Fever. No one can tell. We found a doctor in one of the Iowa wagons. He don't know."
Unquestionably he was an artist with deadly weapons, and the trail of his wanderings through the West was marked by wooden headboards.
The rude, unpainted paling still enclosed it, and rows of headboards stretched away among grass and weeds; but whose was that shining marble shaft, standing in the centre of a neatly arranged square, around which ran a handsome iron railing? On that very spot, in years gone by, had stood a piece of pine board: "Sacred to the memory of Aaron Hunt, an honest blacksmith and true Christian."
Now those are coming whose headboards were erected in the early eighties. A company of swarthy black-eyed riders in the flaring trousers and steep-crowned sombreros of Mexico jog along elbow to elbow with hard-eyed horsemen from the valleys of the San Simon and the Animas.
Many of their graves are upon the banks of the Ny and the Po. The marble monument at Fort Stevens tells the names of some who gave their lives in the defense of the Capital, while the simple headboards of pine tell where repose many in the valley of the Shenandoah, and before Petersburgh.
