Harry was born June 9, 1855, was "broke in as cow-boy" when he was only 14 and he continued herding for the C.C., the 63 and other Outfits until, at 22 he was noticed by General Crook as a valuable scout.

After 12 years as a scout, Harry joined up with Dr. Solomon's Wild West, and subsequently with Pawnee Bill and Wichita Jack and in 1893 with Buckskin Bill's Railroad Wild West.  An anonymous chronicler ranks Harry as "Next to Donald McKay."
