Wild Horse George and the Cheyenne County chase tale
An account recalls two articles on wild horses in Wyoming and New Mexico from the 1850s. A hunting party near Sidney, Cheyenne County, chased a herd of eleven wild horses led by a bold rider later known as Wild Horse George with a bay gelding. The rider pursued the stallion and kept with the herd, finally sheltering with the horses at a ranch. The piece blends romance with frontier memory, naming local figures and events in a stream of reminiscence.
