Excerpt from The Horsemen of the Plains: A Story of the Great Cheyenne WarA boy sat in a little room in the frontier town of Omaha. It was a poor and cheap place. A ﬂimsy table stood in one corner, an equally ﬂimsy bed in another, and one or two pictures from newspapers were tacked on the bare, pine walls. There was no carpet on the ﬂoor. Nothing showed quality, except a riﬂe that lay across the foot of the bed.The weapon was a fine breech-loader, advanced in type for the time, and a skilful hand had carved initials and several graceful little decorations on the stock. Any one would surmise that it was highly prized by its owner.The boy himself was a match for his riﬂe, a stalwart youth, seventeen years old, with the stat ure and strength of a man. His brown hair, cut short, curled just a little, and his blue eyes were set wide apart, as they usually are in those of large minds. His face was brown with tan, but, at the edge of the collar, his fair white skin showed.A comely boy, and a strong and brave one, as the most casual observer would have inferred. But he was dressed poorly, and the look upon his face, just now, was not cheerful, although his was a nature disposed to see the better side of things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
