Wicker School in Sanford, N.C., has been selected as the state essay winner of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution history essay contest. Turner is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Turner of Sanford, and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Alphonso Spivey of Eden ton and Mr. and Mrs. Stockton Turner of Tyner. His essay was sponsored by the local DAR chapter, the Pvt. John Grady Chapter of the National Society DAR. The topic of his essay was Buffalo Bill, who fit the required subject matter of a famous American bom in February before 1900. His prize-winning essay reads as follows: America, what a country! This country with all its greatness was established by many great Americans. Who were these great Americans? Abraham Lincoln and George Washington surely come to mind. However, there were others. Since I am in terested in Indians and the Wild West, one man quickly comes to my mind - William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill. Let’s join Buffalo Bill as he makes one of his many maQ runs with the Pony Express. “Come on, Prince, let’s go. The mail is due in Three Crossings at 5:00 sharp. This being a Pony Express rider brings back old times. Well, Prince, you’re a smart horse, but I’m sure you don’t remember all the old times. If you go faster, I will tell you about the old times as we go.” “I can remember when I got my first job. That was back in 1833. I was twelve. Alec Majors gave mj»’'tSfef job. Boy, was I proud to have a man’s job, working with the wagon train. He had employed over eight thousand men and had seventy-five thousand head of oxen. That was when I got you, Prince. Alec Majors gave you to me as a present for trying to support my mother and two sisters. My father eked in 1857, and from then on, I was the man of the house. (Turn right here. Prince. We don’t want to fall in that ravine.) “Now, where was I? Oh, that same year on my first trip with the wagon train, you were stolen by the Cheyenne Chief, Yellow Hair. You probably remember that well, Prince. (Look out for that gopher hole!) “Well, two days later in my hometown of Leaven worth, we took off on another wagon train for Fort Laramie. At Fort Laramie I met the famous scout, Kit Carson. After I told him that my horse had been stolen by a Cheyenne Chief named Yellow Hair, he said that he knew this Indian and promised to get you back. The next day we rode into the Indian camp and demanded that you be returned, Prince. Kit Carson not only returned you to me, but he also got back 201 more horses that had been stolden from the wagon train. Boy! Was I glad to have you back again. “A few days later I made friends with the son of the Sioux Chief, Rain-in-the- Face. My friend’s name was Red Hawk. Together, we warned a wagon train of a buffao stampede, and the wagon train was saved. This friendship later saved my life. “You see, Prince, one day I was trapping on Prairie Creek with my friend, Dave, when a blizzard swept through. I did not see this hole in the ground. I stepped in it and broke my We found an old, deserted dugsot. Dave went for help and left me there for twenty nine days. On the sixth day, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I thought it was Dave. I looked up to see a band of Sioux braves. The chief was Rain-in-the Face. He remembered me an would not kill me, but he did take all my supplies. On the twenty-ninth day, Dave returned with help. (Hey! THE CHOWAN HERALD M JLoak where you’re going, Prince!) “Now, I’m sure you want 4o know how I got the name Buffalo Bill, Prince. Well, I got my name because I killed 4,280 buffalo in eighteen months. People said I was the champion hunter on the plains. Well, Prince, most people say that I have helped America, but an American must do what he must do and must do what he feels is right in his heart. Now, for us, on to Three Crossings!" Yes, Buffalo Bill helped to make America the country it is today. He fought for American land; he helped start the Pony Express; and he helped make the Tran scontinental Railroad a success. He was brave, daring, and honest, and he was even wiry like his horse, Prince. He was a great American. I admire him. 'Truth it rarely pure and never simple."
