In February 1864 he was released to join the First Regiment, US volunteers and given a choice by the Northern Army of fighting the South or fighting indians. He chose the indians and fought in the West until he got back to North Carolina.

After marrying Amanda, he suffered from his war injuries and the doctors suggested a warm, dry climate, so they moved to Pueblo CO by train. They farmed there for 3 years, but lost all their crops to hail, packed up and headed by covered wagon to Fruita. As they came down Cochetopa Pass the wagons and herd of cattle were nearly bogged down in the wet sand because of heavy rain. Everyone but the wagon drivers had to walk. When the group finally reached Grand Junction they had to ford the river to get across to the "city," which consisted of a few log cabins and one 2-story hotel.

Upon reaching Fruita, they homesteaded and settled in to farm and establish a thriving honey business. The children soon started school at a 2-room, 2-story building located where the old Fruita Central School was later located. The upper room was used as a church and social hall, the bottom for school. Eleven of their 14 children attended school in Fruita.
