Quotes[]
- Gil Favor (opening): "The Sedalia Trail's as rough as it is long. You might say deuces are wild the way everything comes in twos. In the low country, two inches of rain in half an hour. Coming through the passes, it was two feet of snow. On this side of the mountain, we had two brushes with rustlers. Ended up burying two hands. Now it's been two days since grass and water. But my job's to kick this herd along no matter what. The only way I know to get a thing done is to keep trying. Gil Favor's my name, trail boss."
- Mushy: "But Wishbone, I wanna make another pot of coffee. I remember your recipe: one pound of coffee in a pot, boiled for 30 minutes. Then pitch in a horseshoe and if it sinks add some more coffee."
- Wishbone, disagreeing with his boss’s plan: "I allow myself the privilege of calling you a fool just once a drive boss. This is that once."
- Favor: "A man doesn’t know how a big a shadow he throws until he stands up."
