Explore "Wild Animals I have Known" by Ernest Thompson Seton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was December, 1893. I was new in the country, and was setting out from the ranch house on the Piñavetitos, to go with a wagon to the Canadian River. As I was leaving, Foster finished his remark by: "And if you get a chance to draw a bead on that accursed mustang, don't fail to drop him in his tracks."
This was the first I had heard of him, and as I rode along I gathered from Burns, my guide, the history that has been given. I was full of curiosity to see the famous three-year-old, and was not a little disappointed on the second day when we came to the prairie on Antelope Springs and saw no sign of the Pacer or his band.
