Enlisted in Iowa at age 13 years as a Drummer Boy. In 1861 he enlisted in the 13th US Infantry of the First Army Corps, also known as Hancock's Corps, being commanded by General Hancock, and in the Armies of the Tennessee and the Potomac. He saw active duty in some of the most hotly contested engagements of the war, including the battles of Chickasaw Bayou, Champion Hills, Jackson, Vicksburg, Collierville and others, and for a time he was a prisoner on Belle Island. 4 years of warfare transformed the boy into a man in experience, although he was but 17 years of age when hostilities ceased.
He entered the University of Iowa and afterward took up the profession of teaching, being connected with the public schools of Van Buren and of Little Rock, AR from 1870-1873. He graduated with LL. B. degree in 1874. Admitted to practice in 1875, entered in Colorado Springs where he became associated with Judge E. A. Coburn.
