Me go to my little wigwam and get ‘um shut-eye.” “How come you always get to play the Indian?” whined Warren, deadpan. “Cause she’s the Indian, white boy,” said Kyle.

• I’m not trying to turn you into cowboys, I’m just trying to get you better coordinated, get your horse used to things, get your horse comfortable.

• Every country in the world loved the folklore of the West--the music, the dress, the excitement, everything that was associated with the opening of a new territory.

Now, I wonder who'll continue it.
