He rode a great black horse with a flowing mane.

He was clad completely in a suit of buckskin which was probably without a match on the border.

It and his moccasins were adorned with thick rows of beads of many colors, that glittered and flashed as the sunlight played upon them.

Heavy silver spurs were fastened to his heels, and his hat of broad brim and high cone in the Mexican fashion was heavy with silver braid.

His saddle also was of the high, peaked style, studded with silver.
