Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Casey Ryan From Denver to Spokane, from El Paso to Fort Benton, men talk of Casey Ryan and smile when they speak his name. Old men with the flat tone of coming senility in their voices will suck at their pipes and cackle reminiscently while they tell you of Casey´s tumultuous youth - when he drove the six fastest horses in Colorado on the stage out from Cripple Creek, and whooped past would-be holdups with a grin of derision on his face and bullets whining after him and passengers praying disjointed prayers and clinging white-knuckled to the seats. They say that once a flat, lanky man climbed bareheaded out at the stage station below the mountain and met Casey coming springily off the box with whip and six reins in his hand. The lanky man was still pale from his ride, and he spluttered when he spoke: "Sa-ay! N-next time you´re held up and I´m r-ridin´ with yuh, b-by gosh, you s-stop. I-I´d ruther be shot t-than p-pitched off into a c-canyon s-somewhere a-and busted up!" Casey is a little man.
