Excerpt from The Camp in the Foot-Hills: Or Oscar on Horseback "I declare, I almost wish I was going with him!" It was our old friend Oscar Preston who said this. He was standing on the platform in front of the station at Julesburg, gazing after the stage-coach in which Leon Parker, the disgusted and repentant runaway, whose adventures and mishaps have already been described, had taken passage for Atchison.
