“Dwarfed beneath a high slickrock formation, an Apache kneels to study the ground for a telltale overturned rock or crushed grass stems that might indicate someone else has been here before him. Indians were quick to learn the use of articles acquired in trade or taken in battle, like the white man’s saddle and bridle.”   - Elmer Kelton, The Art of Frank C.
