Notes
"
I
followed
the
life
of a
Cowboy
for
about
14
years
then as a
prospector
,
miner
, and
ranchman
during
the
years
following
, have been in
Indian
outbreaks
and
others
have
saw
a
lot
of
country
yet
practically
unexplored
.
I
have
read
with
pleasure
most
of
your
books
.
Riders
of the
Purple
Sage
and The
Rainbow
Trail
are, as
I
understand
, the
characters
and
scenery
were
taken
southwest
of
Monticello
and
Blanding
,
Utah
near
the
Colorado
Canyon
by
yourself
. As
I
have been in that
country
I
think
your
description
the
finest
of any
writer
in the
U.S
. have
you
ever
saw
the
natural
bridges
southewst
of
Blanding
?
I
have
often
thought
that
you
must
have
got
your
inspiration
from them in
writing
the
last
part
of The
Rainbow
Trail
.
Just
across
the
great
Colorado
Canyon
and
many
miles
to the
west
is
a
great
practically
unexplored
country
that was in
years
past
used
by the
Robber's
Roost
gang
(now
broken
up
by their
own
accord)
and was their
hideout
after
stealing
cattle
robbing
banks
and,
I
kenw
all
of the
members
of this
outfit
.
Butch
Cassidy
,
Mont
Butler
,
Kid
Jackson
,
Al
Hurs
,
Berd
Madden
,
Tom
McCarty
, and
others
.
Seven
years
ago
in
company
with a
companion
I
visited
this
country
looking
up
a
range
for a
big
cattle
outfit
,
I
found
plenty
of
grass
but
little
water
and the
grandest
scenery
that
I
ever
laid
eyes
on,
I
have
often
thought
that
you
could
most
certainly
get
material
and an
inspiration
for a
great
book
here.
Cattlemen
did
not
want
to
go
in then to
big
eyed
a
country
for them,
too
far
from
civilization
although
they
told
me
they
wanted
that
kind
of a
country
only
grass
is
what
we
want
they
said..
. and
let
me
and
some
more
of
your
friends
criticism
some
of
your
late
short
story
writing
,
am
afraid
you
are
falling
down
a
lot
on them,
you
need
inspiration
better
come
west
again
and
win
rock
("")
awhile
,
it
will
all
come
back
to
you
again..
