Deeming it my duty, I camped directly in their line of march (the Apache Chief Victorio and his band), and at the only water for a long distance north. I had with me only First Lieutenant William H. Beck, Tenth Cavalry, one non-commissioned officer, five privates - two of whom were teamsters - and my son Robert K. Grierson, who, just through high school, was out in search of adventure and suddenly found it.

Thus, Colonel Benjamin Henry Grierson, Tenth Cavalry, describes the stand he made at Rattlesnake Springs in July 1880 during that summer's campaign. Accompanying his father was son Robert, a bright, articulate young man who, in search of adventure, documented that summer with his father chasing Victorio through West Texas.
