“Nelse McLeod: Faith can move mountains Milt, but it cant beat a faster draw. Theres only three men I know with his kind of speedones dead, the others me, and the third is Cole Thornton.
Cole Thornton: Theres a fourth.
McLeod: Which one are you?
Thornton: Im Thornton.”
—Leigh Brackett (19151978)
“We noticed several other sandy tracts in our voyage; and the course of the Merrimack can be traced from the nearest mountain by its yellow sand-banks, though the river itself is for the most part invisible. Lawsuits, as we hear, have in some cases grown out of these causes. Railroads have been made through certain irritable districts, breaking their sod, and so have set the sand to blowing, till it has converted fertile farms into deserts, and the company has had to pay the damages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
