Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Buckskin Pete Pine Ridge, the great cattle depot, was more than usually alive with excitement for such an early hour in the morning; the excitement was suppressed, but none the less in existence in fact, the very quietness of the sun-tanned men who lounged about the main thoroughfare was evidence in itself that something unusual was in the air. As a general thing the cattlemen and prospectors who made a habitat of Pinewood Ridge were noisy enough, as became men who were out to have a good time in their own primitive way after long months on the silver sage plains or in the Cedar Mountains, and at such times they were harmless enough, like big overgrown boys out for a frolic, or deep-sea sailors just home from a long cruise. There was, however, no sign of fun or frolic this morning about the throng. As a general rule, the crowd was split up into little groups of personal friends or workmates, fellows who had ridden the ranges of the silver sage plains after cattle together for a year or more, and bunched together in a crisis as saddlemen always will. It was the same with the mineral prospectors: they were drawn together by the kinship of their calling, for one prospector will sense another prospector in a crowd as surely as a wild steer will pick out one of its own kind on the hillsides, and whilst they generally love to work alone, or at most in pairs, in the wilds, some magnet draws them together in towns. It was the same with the surveyors, of whom there were not a few in Pine Ridge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
