Deeds of valor : how America's heroes won the medal of honor : personal reminiscences and records of officers and enlisted men who were awarded the congressional medal of honor for most conspicuous acts of bravery in battle : combined with an abridged history of our country's wars . t for the time being, whereupon the pony would double up like aball, make a bound into the air, coming down stiff-legged, jump about over theprairie, and repeating this exercise with lightning rapidity in almost every directionat the same time; then the soldiers hat would fall, and before many minutes hewould follow suit, and frequently the pony would not stop until he had freed him-self from the saddle; or, sometimes he would gallop around over the prairie andcome back to the herd with the saddle underneath.

Fortunately they did not have far to fall, and the groundwas covered with a heavy crop of green grass. This scene continued until the com-mand was completely mounted and the ponies and infantry had become betteracquainted, and by that time we were ready to take up our return march to thecantonment. ^ i #-,.
