The cowmen's all from north and don't know nothing more than we do.

I found lots who claimed to know that country, but when I told 'em what I wanted they shied like a colt.
I couldn't hire 'em, for no money, to go down in that country.

They ain't got the nerve.

I took two days to her, too, and rode out to a ranch where they said a man lived who knew all about it down there.
Nary riffle.

Man looked all right, but his tail went down like the rest when I told him what we wanted.
