He was a corporal, and we called him " Corporal Bill. " I shall speak of him later. A grand ball was given at the City of Fort Madison a few miles up the river, and I was invited to it. It was a typical ball of the times. I may digress here to speak a little of the dancing of the period. The pioneer dances were entirely " square cotillions, " with an occasional " country dance" (which pedan tic philologists have changed to "contra dances" as they have changed the old-fashioned welch-rabbit to "...rarebit"). The "cotillion, " otherwise called the "quadrille, " was to the "coun try dance" in favor as nine to one. The country dance was executed in two long lines; it was more of an open-air dance, because it could be performed on the sod. Everybody under stood the cotillion. The figures were very numerous. Every town and village had persons who could teach them. New figures were continually invented, and traveling dancing teachers kept the towns instructed. In addition to this the new figures were printed and illustrated in pamphlets on the subject, and were described in the newspapers.
