He relates his experiences as a Union soldier in the Civil War, his family's subsequent relocation to Kansas, his work as a horse and cow herder in Kansas and its wild cowtowns, and finally his work as a scout for the Army in Kansas and Oklahoma during times of frequent Indian raids. In introducing his book, Baughman writes: "This book will be principally concerned with the events connected with my twenty years' experience as a scout and frontiersman for the United States army in the West. But that the reader may have a better understanding of the motives and causes which led me to adopt a career of such adventurous hardship a brief sketch of my previous life will be necessary."
