For here again are honest-to-goodness cowboys, whose love of cattle and the range made all other employment distasteful and unsatisfying. Here are Indians, not the scalping war-party type, altogether, but Indians when they and the white man were trying to learn to live ogether amicably. Bill Huntington wasn't always cowboy and rancher.
