Chapter I A lone cowhand riding a har...d-pressed horse stepped down from the saddle and whipped the dust from his hat by a few stiff blows against his chaps. He stood for an instant looking up and down the street, crowded with blackboards, saddle-horses and men.
It was ten o'clock in the morning but Dodge was a twenty-four-hour "town with thirty thousand head of cattle held on the grass outside of town, and more coming In every day.

This is a blatant error by LAmour. I've never heard any other western writer assert this. And common sense alone shoud tell us that it is completely wrongAssume a passing of 10-20,000 buffalo. Are only the front ones going to meander and graze, with those following eating nothing.. If grass remained after a herd of many thousands of buffalo had passed it was due to the resilience of the grass, perhaps quich growing or something. But certainly NOT from the buffalo being members of the GREEN PARTY.
And the tales of trains and travellers being held up for 2-3 days whilst massive herds of buffalo were passing. How could the grass avoid being trampled down into the mud, whatever the often grazing buffalo might leave

Lamour is reallysloppy.Here he asks "Has Lance somehow been connected to Mort Davis", as if it's brainwave thought which has just struck him.
Just a few days earlier the D avis cowboy rode into town tellingneveryone that Davis las looking for Lance, The fat that word had reached Lance quickly should tell him that it must have been told to someone on town and passed on. So byb then it'd be almost public knowledge.
