Far-Flung Nebraska Sheep Ranchers and Young Herdsmen
A narrative from Nebraska describes a trip via Lumarie Plains to a remote sheep station near Sheep Mountain. Two young Farrell sons, eleven and thirteen, tend a flock of about twenty three hundred sheep, cooking and living in a dugout with dogs and ponies, under protective wolves. The piece contrasts their courage with common labor, praising youthful resourcefulness and recalling political remarks by R B Hayes on succession by force.
