Dedication and Quote
For Wesley, my son, the best of all possible boys,
and Virginia, my daughter, whose laughter
keeps the darkness at bay, and for Judy, my wife,
who helps me understand and believe in myself
—and for Ethan, who sticks by me
This is a pretty country, but you white men take
it away from us. The only thing this country
is good for is red ants, coyotes, and cattle men.
-QUANAH PARKER
The only good Indian I ever saw was dead.
