MARY LEEFE LAURENCE
Edited by
Thomas T. Smith
The young daughter of
an infantry officer on the
post-Civil War frontier,
Mary Leefe had the
childhood of an army
nomad, accompanying
the regiment from south
Texas to the boundary
with Canada. Leefe's
formative memories
were of the death of the
regimental colonel in
battle with the
Cheyennes and of the
dangerous thrill of
watching an Ute war
