"This fellow is considered the best driver in the mountains," he prevaricated. Just then he remembered having detected liquor on the man's breath as he closed the door behind him.

He is no other than Lighthorse Jerry, the king of stage drivers."
I was the seventh of fourteen children, but my father had prospered and we were given the best education the limited facilities of that part of the West then afforded. My people had always been prominent, politically. It was born in the blood. My great grandmother on my father’s side was a daughter of “Lighthorse Harry” Lee, whose proud memory we all cherish.
