The Sunny Side of Twenty Years in the West
A nostalgic reminiscence centered on Jim Nelson and a 1898 sheep appraisal at the Morrison estate. It recounts meeting the young herder Richard DeLone, a running clash with camp mover Allworth, and a humorous exchange as appraisers search for the sheep. An aside recalls a Casper man’s tale of luck and a jokey marital receipt.
