Lobo and Blanca
The King of Currumpaw
About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

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.
