Ebook Life and adventures of "Billy" Dixon, of Adobe Walls, Texas panhandle

"Billy Dixon was a typical frontiersman of the highest order. The perils and hardships of border life were exactly suited to his stoical and imperturbable nature. This does not mean that Billy was not a kind-hearted, generous and hospitable man, for he possessed all these admirable qualities to a high degree but he was cool, calculating and uncommunicative at all times.
"I was with Billy in the fight at Adobe Walls in June, 1874, between the buffalohunters and that fierce band of warriors composed of the best fighting men of the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Comanche and Kiowa tribes, numbering fully one thousand braves. Billy and I occupied the same window the first day of the battle and I hope we did our share in the fight..."
