{"product_id":"2940013761148","title":"High Horse Rampage","description":"I got a letter from Aunt Saragosa Grimes the other day which said:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDear Breckinridge:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI believe time is softenin' yore Cousin Bearfield Buckner's\u003cbr\u003efeelings toward you. He was over here to supper the other night jest\u003cbr\u003eafter he shot the three Evans boys, and he was in the best humor I\u003cbr\u003eseen him in since he got back from Colorado. So I jest kind of\u003cbr\u003ecasually mentioned you and he didn't turn near as purple as he used to\u003cbr\u003eevery time he heered yore name mentioned. He jest kind of got a little\u003cbr\u003egreen around the years, and that might of been on account of him\u003cbr\u003echokin on the b'ar meat he was eatin'. And all he said was he was\u003cbr\u003egoing to beat yore brains out with a post oak maul if he ever ketched\u003cbr\u003eup with you, which is the mildest remark he's made about you since he\u003cbr\u003egot back to Texas. I believe he's practically give up the idee of\u003cbr\u003esculpin' you alive and leavin' you on the prairie for the buzzards\u003cbr\u003ewith both laigs broke like he used to swear was his sole ambition. I\u003cbr\u003ebelieve in a year or so it would be safe for you to meet dear Cousin\u003cbr\u003eBearfield, and if you do have to shoot him, I hope you'll be broad-\u003cbr\u003eminded and shoot him in some place which ain't vital because after all\u003cbr\u003eyou know it was yore fault to begin with. We air all well and nothin's\u003cbr\u003ehappened to speak of except Joe Allison got a arm broke argyin'\u003cbr\u003epolitics with Cousin Bearfield. Hopin' you air the same, I begs to\u003cbr\u003eremane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYore lovin' Ant Saragosa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's heartening to know a man's kin is thinking kindly of him and\u003cbr\u003eforgetting petty grudges. But I can see that Bearfield is been\u003cbr\u003emisrepresenting things and pizening Aunt Saragosa's mind agen me,\u003cbr\u003eotherwise she wouldn't of made that there remark about it being my\u003cbr\u003efault. All fair-minded men knows that what happened warn't my fault--\u003cbr\u003ethat is all except Bearfield, and he's naturally prejudiced, because\u003cbr\u003emost of it happened to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI knowed Bearfield was somewheres in Colorado when I j'ined up\u003cbr\u003ewith Old Man Brant Mulholland to make a cattle drive from the Pecos to\u003cbr\u003ethe Platte, but that didn't have nothing to do with it. I expects to\u003cbr\u003erun into Bearfield almost any place where the licker is red and the\u003cbr\u003eshotguns is sawed-offs. He's a liar when he says I come into the High\u003cbr\u003eHorse country a-purpose to wreck his life and ruin his career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything I done to him was in kindness and kindredly affection.\u003cbr\u003eBut he ain't got no gratitude. When I think of the javelina meat I et\u003cbr\u003eand the bare-footed bandits I had to associate with whilst living in\u003cbr\u003eOld Mexico to avoid having to kill that wuthless critter, his present\u003cbr\u003eattitude embitters me.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069007741168,"sku":"2940013761148","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013761148","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
