Excerpt from Badlands and Broncho Trails
These sketches are not intended to make up a history of the badlands, nor a story of the occupations of the people who make a living therein. They are merely re lief points in the monotony of every-day events and it is hoped they will stir in the reader's vein the pulse of interest in the Badlands and in the human side of the rancher's life. It is a commonplace to say that fact is stronger than fiction, truth more romantic than romance. The life scenes in the Badlands are really pictures in action sometimes pathetic but aways virile and stirring. Almost all of the frontier life and frontier types have passed, and will never be seen again in their picturesque setting. The stories of our Homeric age are worth record ing, and I deem no apology is necessary if I venture to add a few pictures, however crude, to the romantic gallery of North Da kota's permanent frontier.
