"He hit the ground with a hard thump. His whole body bounced once and then lay still. He tried to catch his breath, but it was difficult. He thought he might have broken some ribs when he hit the ground, but he soon determined that he hadn't broken anything. He spit the corral dust out of his mouth. Somehow, it didn't taste like regular corral dust. It had a foul taste as much as he spit, he couldn't completely rid himself of the taste. Men were running...

"The colt was a gruella, a mouse-colored dun. He had a black stripe down his back, like most buckskins. He had white socks on each leg and the socks on his hind feet went almost up to his flanks. The socks on his front feet went to his knees. He had a wide blaze on the front of his face that went from between his ears down to his nose. His mane and tail were black. He also had some black stripes around his front legs above the socks. He made an impressive...

"I tied one horse to the pack saddle on the other horse, got his lead rope, got on my horse and left the ranch. As I topped the ridge past the ranch, I took a look back at the ranch. It was to be my last look at civilization for the summer. I had no regrets about leaving. I set up camp and sat outside my tent until after dark listening to the sounds of the mountain. It was peaceful. The next day, I grained the horses, saddled one and started to explore...

""If he's found guilty, it won't be jail, it'll be prison," said the sheriff. "He actually might be lucky. If he'd stolen those horses seventy-five years ago, he'd be hung, right on the spot, probably without a trial."

He was depressed as he thought he wouldn't see the sagebrush, trees, mountains and desert for at least three years. He didn't make friends easily...

Quite often, as a small child, he would get the lariat wrapped around his legs and trip himself, much to the amusement of his parents, But he soon learned to control the rope, and it didn't end...

"He'd been a good hand on the ranches he'd worked, and while he was out on the ranches, he'd stayed out of trouble. It was when he went to town and got drunk that he got into trouble. He was sitting in his parole officer's outer office weighing out his options when he was called into the officer's office. 'Had any luck finding a job?' asked the parole officer.
