Sinopsis
Excerpt from Stepsons of Light
So much was needful by way of glossary and guide; so partly to avoid such handicap as we meet in telling a baseball story to an Englishman.
It is a singular thing that with the Bar Cross were found the top ropers, crack riders, sure shots - not only the slickest cowmen, but also the wisest cow ponies. Our foremen were cowmen right, our wranglers held the horses, our cooks would fry anything once. But you know how it is - your own organiza tion - firm, farm or factory - is doubtless the best of its kind. No? You surprise me. You have missed much - faith in others, hope for others, comradeship.

Excerpt from Stepsons of Light
There are two sorts of people - those who point with pride and those who view with alarm. They are quite right. The world will not soon forget Parkman "of Ours." Here was a man of learning, common sense, judgment and wide sympathies. Yet once he stumbled; the paregorical imperative, which impels each of us to utter ignominious nonsense, urged. Francis Parkman to the like unhappiness, drove him to father and put forth this void and singular statement:
I have often perplexed myself to divine the various motives that give impulse to this strange migration; but whatever they may be, whether an insane hope of a better condition of life, or a desire of shaking off the restraints of law and society, or mere restlessness, certain it is that multitudes bitterly repent the journey.
