Preface to the twenty-fifth anniversary edition

Introduction

If you know I have a history

They fled amongst the Indians

Between the races we cannot dig too deep a gulf

The finest-looking people I have ever seen

We are all living as in one house

That you know who we are

He was our go-between

Their mixing is to be prevented

Like the Indians themselves

Blood so largely mingled

The finest specimens of mankind

No bars can hold Cherokee Bill

"We are identical"

The greatest sweat and dirt cowboy who ever lived

So long to articulate.
