INDEX OF FIRST LINES

’Way out in Western Texas, where the Clear Fork’s waters flow, 35

’Way high up in the Mokiones, among the mountain-tops, 81

We had all made the guess by the cut of his dress an’ the tenderfoot style that he slung, 49

We was settin’ ’round the ranch house on the last Thanksgivin’ Day, 151

We was trailin’ some stolen cattle, 153

We were camped on the plains at the head of the Cimarron, 171

Well, old horse, you’ve brought me ’cross the line, 123

What’s become of the punchers, 162

When I think of the last great round-up, 75

When the Mormons drifted southward, 117

When the sap comes up through the cottonwood roots, 112

Where the old Fort Sumner Barracks look down on the Pecos wide, 127

Where the Pecos River winds and turns in its journey to the sea, 126

While you’re all so frisky, I’ll sing a little song, 156

Windy Bill was a Texas Man, 168


You kin brag of city caffeys and their trout from streams and lakes, 74

You may call the cowboy horned and think him hard to tame, 34
