The prairie and
sky had a way of trimming folks down to size, or changing them to giants to
whom nothing seemed impossible. Men who had cut a wide swath back in the States
found themselves nothing out here. They were folks who were used to doing a lot
of talking who suddenly found that no one was listening anymore, and things
that seemed mighty important back home, like family and money, they amounted to
nothing alongside character and courage.
