The spring round-up was about to begin, and near by I found M 's "outfit" wagon, "cavayad" of horses, his full force of "hands" and the foreman H . After dining with them I pulled out my papers to show H who I was and told him I had come there to take possession of M 's saddle horses, the whole "ramuda" in fact of nearly a hundred head.
The Pecos River is particularly dangerous on account of its quicksandy nature, and it was my custom, when having to cross the mess wagon, to send across the ramuda of two or three hundred saddle horses to tramp the river-bed solid beforehand.
Round-up and trail work had many agreeable aspects, and though it was at times very hard work, still I look back to it all with fond memories. The hours were long breakfast was already cooked and "chuck" called long before sunrise; horses were changed, the night horses turned loose and a fresh mount for the morning's work caught out of the ramuda.
