We Shaped the Land with Our Guns.
We moved into the place on South Fork just before the snow went off. We had a hundred head of cattle gathered from the canyons along the Goodnight Trail, stray stuff from cattle outfits moving north. Most of these cattle had been back in the breaks for a couple of years and rounding them up was man-killing labor, but we slapped our iron on them and headed west.
Grass was showing green through the snow when we got there and the cattle made themselves right at home. Mountains to the east and north formed the base of a triangle of which the sides were shaped by creeks and the apex by the junction of those creeks. It was a good four miles from that apex to the spot we chose for our home place, so we had all natural boundaries with go...od grass and water.MoreLess

I've always understood that "hand-me-down clothing was second hand and the name came from members of families who outgrow their cloths leabe them for their younger siblings to use.A non tailored suit of clothing bought in a ready made store, is "off-the-rack".
