... that during the American Civil War, Barney Prine made money winning foot races against fellow soldiers in the 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment?

Source: Article in Oregon Daily Journal published on 19 June 1919 said: "Barney Prine was a member of our regiment—the First Oregon Infantry. … He was the best footracer in our regiment. He won a lot of money showing his heels to other chaps who thought they could run."

Article was created on the same day as nomination, is over the required prose count and has no copyvio concerns. It is well written and sourced appropriately. AGF on the hook source as it appears to be subscription based. QPQ provided, good to go. Kosack (talk) 15:20, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
