CHAPTER I
"LA-A-A-DIES AN' GEN'L'MUN"
All through the exhibition the two sat unmoved; yet on the whole it was
the best Wild West show that ever stirred sawdust in Madison Square
Garden and it brought thunders of applause from the crowded house. Even
if the performance could not stir these two, at least the throng of
spectators should have drawn them, for all New York was there, from the
richest to the poorest; neither the combined audiences of a seven-day
race, a prize-fight, or a community singing festival would make such a
cosmopolitan assembly.
All Manhattan came to look at the men who had lived and fought and
conquered under the limitless skies of the Far West, free men, wild
men--one of their shrill whoops banished distance and brought the
mountain desert into the very heart of the unromantic East.
