there is still notable writing when Jick carries his Churchill speech along and the angry Buffalo delivers a well-deserved punch.
The Baloney Express was a true highlight!
Why there is no compassion for lamb and sheep slaughtering is never explained.
And why didn't The Rangers shot the Grizzly again with a tranquilizer instead of killing him?
And why do Indians always get a pass on the extreme cruelty of the Buffalo over the cliff killing
of so many creatures just left to die.
Riley's articles were erudite fun reading.
Riley's best line: "Aw, crud,"
Jick's best line: "this place is still in a bad mood."
Mariah's best: "ack-ack-ack-ack."
And, from Garland Good Hope Hebner: "A time was had by all."
I sure miss Lucas Barclay and Angus McCaskil!… (mere)
