Wild Horse George And Some Arry Of Cheyenne County
A 1900s style reminiscence recounts how two Sidney youths nicknamed Wild Horse George and Andsome Arry became famed horse hunters in Cheyenne County. The narrator details a November sand hills hunt, a herd of eleven wild horses, a pursuit that ends with a lone rider and his bay gelding gaining fame through daring pursuit of the wild group. The piece blends rural frontier humor with frontier justice imagery and local lore about famous horsemen.
