the young Bostonians were charmed with the wilderness and solitude of their surroundings, and as they walked slowly through the timber toward the dugout, began to philosophize. Summerfield remarked to his companion, as the de-liciousness of the coming morning influenced his feelings: "Although there cannot possibly be any difference between one day and another out here in the wilderness, where

Henry was born on July 30, 1837 in New York City, New York, United States, the son of Henry Inman, a painter, and his wife, Jane Riker (O'Brien) Inman. When Henry was yet a boy his father died and his mother moved to a small farm near Hempstead.
For a time Inman attended the Athenian Academy at Rahway, New Jersey, and had further instruction from private tutors.
At twenty Inman enlisted in the army, and as a private (later a corporal) in the 9th Infantry served for four years in the Indian disturbances in California and Oregon.
On the outbreak of the Civil War he was transferred to the 17th Infantry, Army of the Potomac, becoming a first lieutenant in October 1861. In the Peninsular campaign he served on the staff of Gen. George Sykes, and for gallant conduct at Gaines's Mills, June 27, 1862, was brevetted a captain. During the next two years he served in the Quartermaster's Department.
At the end of the war he was sent to Kansas, he attained the brevet of lieutenant-colonel in February 1869. On July 24, 1872, he was cashiered from the army.
In 1878 Inman took charge of a newspaper, the Larned Enterprise. In 1882 he became manager of the Kansas News Agency at Topeka and was subsequently employed on various newspapers in the state. His interest in the frontier prompted the writing of a number of sketches of adventure which in 1881 were published in book form under the title Stories of the Old Santa Fé Trail. Another collection, In the Van of Empire, followed in 1889. The wide circulation of these sketches, due in part to the printing of a selection of them by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway Company as an advertisement, induced Inman to plan a larger and more comprehensive work on the subject. With the financial aid of his friend, W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), he completed the volume, which was published in November 1897 under the title, The Old Santa Fé Trail, The Story of a Great Highway. It scored an immediate success, bringing him money and fame.
During the next year he produced Tales of the Trail, The Ranche on the Oxhide, and A Pioneer from Kentucky, and in collaboration with Cody, The Great Salt Lake Trail. In 1899 he published The Delahoydes and a compilation of the frontier experiences of the Hon. Charles J. Jones under the title, Buffalo Jones' Forty Years of Adventure.
In his later years he separated from his family, living in a small hotel in Topeka. He died in Topeka.

Inman was a man of many eccentricities. He lived frugally but spent money lavishly on a blind boy whom he had met in a hospital. The large royalties received during his last two years were squandered, and at the time of his death he was in debt.
Inman was married in Portland, Maine, October 22, 1862, to Eunice C. Dyer, the daughter of a prominent shipbuilder.
