  • From
  • Denver
  • to
  • Spokane,
  • from
  • El
  • Paso
  • to
  • Fort
  • Benton,
  • men
  • talk
  • of
  • Casey
  • Ryan
  • and
  • smile
  • when
  • they
  • speak
  • his
  • name.
  • Old
  • men
  • with
  • the
  • flat
  • tone
  • of
  • coming
  • senility
  • in
  • their
  • voices
  • will
  • suck
  • at
  • their
  • pipes
  • and
  • cackle
  • reminiscently
  • while
  • they
  • tell
  • you
  • of
  • Casey's
  • tumultuous
  • youth
  • -
  • when
  • he
  • drove
  • the
  • six
  • fastest
  • horses
  • in
  • Colorado
  • on
  • the
  • stage
  • out
  • from
  • Cripple
  • Creek,
  • and
  • whooped
  • past
  • would-be
  • holdups
  • with
  • a
  • grin
  • of
  • derision
  • on
  • his
  • face
  • and
  • bullets
  • whining
  • after
  • him
  • and
  • passengers
  • praying
  • disjointed
  • prayers
  • and
  • clinging
  • white-knuckled
  • to
  • the
  • seats.
  • They
  • say
  • that
  • once
  • a
  • flat,
  • lanky
  • man
  • climbed
  • bareheaded
  • out
  • at
  • the
  • stage
  • station
  • below
  • the
  • mountain
  • and
  • met
  • Casey
  • coming
  • springily
  • off
  • the
  • box
  • with
  • whip
  • and
  • six
  • reins
  • in
  • his hand...
