...every adventurer has in him a bit of the runaway boy. Adventure was "Bigfoot" Wallace, the Texas ranger who went East "to see how people managed to live without the excitement of an occasional Indian fight, or a scrimmage with the Mexicans, or even a tussle with a bear now and then to keep their blood in circulation."
