Both were legends in their time. And it's unfortunate that more people don't read the sagas of Seton as they used to do.

One has to wonder what ever happened to Lobo after he was trapped and killed. Was he mounted and exhibited as he so richly deserved? After all his reign in the wilds of New Mexico are well worth note even today.
