Quote by Frederic Bean

“The storekeeper eyed Trey suspiciously. "You killed the two gents who owned the horses, didn't you?" he asked. Trey turned his attention from the horses. "That's none of your affair. If I told you the truth of the matter, it wouldn't make any difference. It would only be my word against theirs, and they won't be doing any more talking.”

“That day in 1935, as I rode south through the wild heights of the towering Itchas, I naturally couldn’t foresee the future and know that our dreams would come true; that Pan would marry Adelia; that the grand old cattleman Pennoyer would become the general manager of our proposed Frontier Cattle Company; that great trail herds, chuck wagons, horse remudas and cowpunchers would soon be strung out across the land, moving from distant railhead and town and ranch across the vast lonely lands in northern British Columbia into the last cattle frontier. But I did know in my heart that I had found my country. A country as yet unspoiled by man’s bright new ideas. A land where clear, calm, direct thought — based on the Golden Rule, the principles of Christianity — takes the place of the worried, confused and subconsciously frustrated state of mind that exists when economic considerations decide every move or act. A land where action takes the place of talk.”
