He was born into a military family. His grandfather served in the Mexican War, and his father served in the Union cavalry during the Civil War. After the war, his father rose to the rank of Colonel in the Indiana National Guard and was appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court. Both Herbert’s father and grandfather were lawyers, and he became one. From an early age Herbert hunted game and participated in riflery competition. He honed his skills at Camp Perry, where he participated in the National Matches. As a young man, after contracting tuberculosis and receiving medical advice to change climate, Herbert traveled to the western United States (Colorado and New Mexico), where he met some of the legendary gunfighters, including Bat Masterson. He traveled to the Klondike during the gold rush in 1898-1900. He later enlisted in the Indiana National Guard and rose to the rank of Captain by 1907. He was in an artillery battery at one point, where he was introduced to the Gatling gun. Right before the war, he traveled to British Columbia and hunted large game for a railroad company.lihat lebih sedikit
