Katie And the Mustang, book 4
Katie And the Mustang, book 4
“We were headed toward high country. I could scent pine trees on the wind sometimes. I traveled as fast as the little one would let me.
Aweek after Grover killed the snake, we started the long climb over South Pass. The name had made me picture a narrow gorge or a steep-sided valley that curved between the high, jagged peaks. But it wasn’t like that at all.
South Pass was miles wide. It was like a giant hand had smoothed out the mountains the way a woman would smooth the soil in her kit...chen garden before she planted beet seed.
For a while, we could see peaks in every direction, and the air got thin because we were so high, people said. I noticed it some. I got out of breath quicker when the Mustang and I ran to catch up to the wagons, and at night I was so tired I felt sick.
Now that I wasn’t afraid of Grover anymore, I began to notice how seldom he was with his own parents. He helped Andrew Kyler herd the stock most days, and when he wasn’t doing that, he’d walk with the Taylors and help count the wheel turns to figure how many miles we had come, or he’d just walk by himself.MoreLess
