Here Kit Carson had had a big Indian fight. We were now within twelve miles of a new supply depot called Fort Evans, established for the Third Cavalry and Evans''s expedition from New Mexico. The scouts who brought this information reported also that they expected the arrival of a bull-train from New Mexico with a large quantity of beer for the soldiers. Wild Bill and I determined to lay for this beer. That very evening it came along, and the beer destined for the soldiers at Fort Evans never reached them. It went straight down the thirsty throats of General Carr''s command. The Mexicans living near Fort Evans had brewed the beer. They were taking it to Fort Evans to sell to the troops. But it found a better market without going so far. It was sold to our boys in pint cups, and, as the weather was very cold, we warmed it by putting the ends of our picket pins, heated red-hot, into the brew before we partook of it. The result was one of the biggest... William Frederick Cody, Books, Biography and Memoir, An Autobiography Of Buffalo Bill (colonel W. F. Cody) Books>Biography and Memoir, General Books LLC<
