“There is a time in late September when the leaves are still green, and the days are still warm, but somehow you know that it is all about to end, as if summer was holding its breath, and when it let it out again, it would be autumn.”

Once upon a time, there was a horse so wild people were scared to ride him. He was a barrel-chested bay quarter horse, and in his early years people brought him elk hunting out west. When they threw the dead animal on his back to haul it back to camp, he took off and disappeared into that vast wilderness for a time.
