Excerpt from Over There and Back in Three Uniforms: Being the Experiences of an American Boy in the Canadian, British and American Armies at the Front and Through No Man's Land
IN August, 1914, I was a cowboy on a ranch in the interior Of British Columbia. How good a cowboy I would not undertake to say, because if there were any errands Off the ranch the foreman seemed better able to spare me for them than any one else in the outfit.
One ambition, and one only, possessed me in those days. And it was not to own the ranch! All in the world I wanted was to accumulate money enough to carry me to San Francisco when the Panama exposition opened in the autumn. After that I didn't care. It would be time enough to worry about another job when I had seen the fair.
