William W. Johnstone
“The boys were sure willing enough, but the trouble was that none of them knew diddly-squat about ranch work. They were farm boys, used to gathering eggs and slopping hogs and plowing and such as that.
Little Chuckie fell off his mount, and landed in a fresh horse pile. The only other britches he had were hanging on the line to dry. He had to work the rest of that morning dressed, from the waist down, in his longhandles. With a safety pin holding up one side of the flap.
Of the boys, Jamie was t...he oldest and the strongest. He was built like the trunk of a large tree. And he could ride and was a fair hand with a rope.
Matthew was a frail young man who wore glasses and was in dire need of boots.
Smoke was making a list of what the boys needed; and he was going to see to it that they got it. One way or the other.
Ed meant well and tried hard, but it was plain that he would never be a cowboy. Smoke put him to running errands and taking messages back and forth.
Leroy would do. He never complained, even after being tossed a half-dozen times.MoreLess
