In 1927 Owen Wister called "The Pinto Horse" "the best western
story about a horse that I have ever read." The pinto roamed the
Montana range in the late 1880s, surviving wolves and blizzards and
earning the respect of the herd but never blending in, always
standing out in vulnerable perfection. After years of trusting to
human kindness, he falls into the hands of fools.
"The Phantom Bull," first published in 1932, is also marked by
authenticity and controlled beauty of style. Old Man Ennis, who
ranched on the upper Madison in Montana, grudgingly admired the
slate-colored Zebu cow, whose wild cunning was passed on to her
calf. The calf grows into a monster bull, not personified but
endowed with the suggestion of a definite point of view. A phantom
glimpsed against the horizon--that is the image he leaves.
