January 1913 "Louis Hart, the aged father of Mrs. Morris Stein and Mr. Will Hart, died at Ochsner hospital at an early hour. yesterday morning. An attack of kidney trouble which has been acute for a month proved fatal, regardless of jthe fact that all that devoted children, skilfull physicians and expert nurses could do was done to alleviate his suffering. Mr. Hart reached the Scriptural age limit of three score years and ten nearly nine years ago. Until the, died of his wife about two years and a half ago he was unusually robust and strong, but her passing was a blow from which he never recovered. Tomorrow Mr. and Mrs. Stein and Mr. Will Hart leave for Denver with the remains to place them beside the splendid woman who was his compln-‘ ion on life's journey for forty-three years. The Masons and the members of the G. A. R. will assemble at th Stein residence on Fourth avenue at 7:30 and escort the body to the train. The only form of service in this city will be singing the national airs by the G. A. R. at the home, this to be done out of respect for the patriotic spirit that has departed. Louis Hart was born in Bosen, Firstenturm - Birkenfeld, Germany, March 12, 1834, and died in Durango, Colo., Jan, 26, 1913., born and, died define the extremes of life but it is the filling in the years that make up our history. In his eariy career Louis Hart was a faithful student and one who by intense application laid the foundation stone for a useful life. The manner ‘of passing his youth was characteristic of his later years. When 16 years of age, Louis Hart left the land of his, born and traveled to America. He first settled in St. Louis. The lone boy met with suc‘ess in his new surroundings, both in a business and social way. Eleven years later when the Civil war broke out, Mr. Hart considered the principal involved from the viewpoint that was general in that portion of the country of his adoption and in accordance with it joined the Confederate army and served faithfully in its ranks until the close of the struggle, For many years after the war St. Louis continued to be his home. It was there he met, wooed and won for his life companion, Miss Babetta Baum. The couple were first attractod to each other by the fact that they were born and reared near the same city in Germany. A couple of years after their marriage, it developed that they had known each other as children, in fact were distantly related. These unknown circumstances came to light when an aged aunt of Mrs. Hart's came to visit them from across the sea, Three sons, Will, Joe and Nathan Hart, and one daughter, Mrs. Morris Stein, came to bless the Hart home. It was indeed a happy household. Mrs. Hart was an ideal wife and mother while Mr. Hart was a most devoted husband and loving father. Mr. Hart came to Durango twenty-three years ago on Feb. 14, just one day after his eldest grandson, Emil Stein, was born. Since, this city bas been the family home, Mrs. Hart ind the other members of the household followed shortly. Mr. Hart was actively engaged in the mercantile business in Durango for a decade. However, since he retired from business life his interest in current events have been as keen 4s in younger days. To the problems of the day he brought a logical well trained mind. In the last campaign he took an active part, his views being wonderfully clear. The differences that caused the break between the North and South were soon forgotten and he was numbered among the most patriotic and loyal citizens. On Memorial day he was always found in line with the G. A. R, manifesting his high regard for the nation’s honored dead. Since, died entered the home and teok from it the excellent wife and mother he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Stein. The two have always been inseparabls, few daughters have ever bestowed more kindly attention on their parents than this one did upon him. During his last illness cverything that loving hands or medical skill could do was done to ulieviate bis suffering but without avail., died was to be his only relief. Yesterday when the body was taken from the undertaking parlors to the Stein residence awaiting shipment to Denver twenty-three federal soldiers and three Confederates acted as escorts. The pall bearers wera chozen from the ranks, the Federal: beirg Capt. C. E. Dudley, Co. D 22nd Wis. Infty.; C. A. Lemmon, Co. B._ 724 Ohio, and Joe Stansbury, Co. G 9th Kansas Cavalry.

Before the company of old soldiers retired the strains of “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” with the bugle accompaniment wera heard. This morning the Masonic order of which Mr. Hart was a member of years’ standing, escorted the body to the train, the Messrs.

": "In 1918, urged on by his son Harry, John Benton Hart began to tell stories of a three-year period in his youth. He recalled his days as a trooper in the Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, fighting in Missouri and on the frontier, and his time as a civilian jack-of-all-trades doing risky work for the U.S. Army on the Wyoming-Montana Bozeman Trail in the middle of the Indian resistance campaign known as Red Cloud’s War. Once started, John Benton Hart became an enthusiastic raconteur, describing events with an almost cinematic vividness, while his son, an aspiring writer, documented his father’s testimony in what became several manuscripts. Compiled and reproduced here, edited by historian John Hart, John Benton Hart’s great-grandson, this memoir is a singular document of living history.
As a young Kansas cavalryman, John Benton Hart participated in two momentous episodes of the Civil War era�Sterling Price’s Missouri Expedition of 1864, including the Battle of Westport, and such engagements in the Plains Indian Wars as the Battle of Platte Bridge in July 1865 and the Hayfield Fight near Fort C. F. Smith in 1867. In the engaging style of a natural storyteller, Hart re-creates these events as he experienced them, giving readers a rare glimpse at moments of historical import from the point of view of the “ordinary” soldier. In arresting detail, he also tells of crossing the Plains as a bullwhacker, carrying the mail between the beleaguered forts on the Bozeman Trail, and befriending scout Jim Bridger and Mountain Crow Chief Blackfoot."
