He was only eleven, but his father sent him off on horseback to warn the Kentucky countryside that the Indians were on the rampage. At 14, he rode 100 miles in 48 hours carrying military dispatches. He trekked to the Upper Missouri in 1819, saw Sante Fe as a prisoner of the Spaniards in 1820, spent a bitter winter on the Great...
