Adventure With Indians on Guadalupe Told by Dan Storm
In Central West Texas on the upper Guadalupe river a young ranch hand recalls his encounter with about fifty Indians at a chiefs teepee. He and fellow rider Chilam are offered hospitality and a chance to find their lost horses after a night of dancing and playful roughness with the chief’s daughters. The chief offers friendship, and the narrator reflects on Indians and white misperceptions, ending with a tale of a Matador-like bullfight in Piedras Negras.
