Excerpt from Stepsons of Light
So much was needful by way of glossary and guide; so partly to avoid such handicap as we meet in telling a baseball story to an Englishman.
It is a singular thing that with the Bar Cross were found the top ropers, crack riders, sure shots - not only the slickest cowmen, but also the wisest cow ponies. Our foremen were cowmen right, our wranglers held the horses, our cooks would fry anything once. But you know how it is - your own organiza tion - firm, farm or factory - is doubtless the best of its kind. No? You surprise me. You have missed much - faith in others, hope for others, comradeship.
