Excerpt from For Life and Love: A Story of the Rio Grande, and Leavenworth Lay Dying, With His Head Upon My an Only a Tress of Rose, a Rose, Dead Many a Was Upon the Sandy Banks of the Rio Grande, Where We Lay

Few of the recent American novelists have attained the success of Richard Henry Savage, whose dashing and romantic stories are to-day published in Germany and England as well as America. His experiences are as varied as the scenes of his works, and, save India and Australia, he is familiar with the entire route of the wayfarer in life. Student, traveller, soldier, author, and scientist, his forty-seven years have been marked by mental toil, physical hardship, and stirring adventure.

The author of "My Official Wife" was born in Utica, New York, and as a lad, arriving in California in 1852, attended the first public school in San Francisco, being the youngest scholar in the first class of the High School. Taken to the wilds of Nevada County, where his father was a leading merchant, the youth saw, in its prime, the wild life of Bret Harte's heroes. Later, in San Francisco, he witnessed the Vigilance Committees sway of 1856, and the final crystallization of California society.

His law studies with Edward Stanley and Sidney V. Smith, of San Francisco, were interrupted by the war. A commission in the California Volunteers was reluctantly declined by reason of his minority, and in 1864 he was entered at West Point, representing the San Francisco district. Already a fearless rider and a daring hunter, he soon excelled in physical exercises, taking a distinguished rank in his class, and was graduated in 1868 as Lieutenant of Engineers, the highest corps. He was a leading cadet officer and led his class in law, literature, ethics, and several branches of science.

From 1868 to '71, Lieutenant Savage served as Engineer officer and personal Aide-de-Camp of the heroic Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, who was attracted to the spirited young officer who had executed dangerous and difficult duties on the Western frontiers. From 1861 Mr. Savage had been writing now-forgotten poetry for the Golden Era, essays and newspaper work, and desirous of travel, he resigned from the army and visited Europe for two years.
