Quotes[]
- Gil Favor (opening): "The Sedalia Trail is a thousand miles of dust, deep river crossings, and stampedes, a job forgotten by those who wait for their cattle at the end of the drive. But not forgotten by the men in the saddle who bring the cattle through. Like me - Gil Favor, trail boss."
