This short story is something of a cowboy comedy narrated by Boone Bearfield in an effective cowboy dialect.

It’s actually an epistolary tale, but other than the opening g and closing, it doesn’t feel like one.

There’s a blend of action and humour, featuring some Red Indians with names such as Biting Horse, Fat Bear, and Big Nose.

Although the plot is nothing startling, it’s still worthwhile checking out. ( )
