You know the rest. We sat there in our saddles and watched the horned hundreds as they passed; and in the long parade I saw one poor old cripple with the roan coat [92] Told in the Firelight of the Shorthorn, the white face of the Hereford and the great wide-spreading up-turned horns of the old-time Texan. Obviously she embodied within herself the whole story of the western cattle trade; the passing of the red men and the buffalo, the first great invasion of the wilderness by the southern Long-... horns, the frightful losses suffered in the early days and the subsequent reoccupation of the ranges under better control and management. All this and more was now recalled by the smouldering embers of our dying camp fire in the mountains, and some lines * I once had written now came clearly back: * Publisher's Note. — Seme years ago Mr. Sanders prepared at the solicitation of leading western ranchmen and cattle breeders a volume of about i,ooo pages which he called "The Story of the Herefords." This bit of verse was added as an appendix to that work, which is highly technical in its character and naturally makes little appeal to the general reader not interested in the subject matter.
