Sometimes I wish I were born one or two thousand years ago. This book reminds me why. pg 100: "I was born upon the prairie, where the wind blew free, and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures, and where everything drew a free breath... I know every stream and every wood between the Rio Grande and the Arkansas. I have hunted and lived over that country. I lived like my fathers before me, and like them, I lived happily." -- Ten Bears [Parra-wa-samem:], Yamparethka Comanche chief
