...missed the bull's-eye by not including details on the tops of all the "Galahads," the most able, the finest voice, the most thoughtful star of them all-Robert Horton of Wagon Train...
Milo K. Fields, editor-publisher of the Glacier Reporter, used to worry that Tatsey's pungent reporting might draw libel suits. He worries no more. Most of Tatsey's neighbors-Mrs. Maggie Chief All Over, Francis B. (for Bull) Shoe, George Running Wolf Jr. and Sr.-complain only when they are ignored in his column.

...every trumpeter well knows, to sustain a note of clarity, volume and high pitch through 53 inches of drawn-brass tubing requires the lung power of a bull moose and the finesse of a brindled gnu.

Most poets seem to agree. John Crowe Ransom calls Hodgson's Eve and The Bull "great, wonderful poems that will live forever." But the convincing voice itself speaks alone at the end of a muddy road, where few care to journey. Says the Minerva postmaster, summing up the town's spooky presentiment about its mysterious poet: "Oh, he's a brilliant...
