The Camp Grant Massacre manuscript describes Cargill's experience at Camp Grant at the time of the massacre and his service on the Grand Jury that indicted those accused of the attack. A 20-page, handwritten manuscript about the Glanton/Lincoln killings at the Yuma ferry crossing was written in 1907 from the viewpoint of C.O. Brown.
