Excerpt from Bill Jones of Paradise Valley Oklahoma: His Life and Adventures for Over Forty Years in the Great Southwest This book is the story of one of the pioneers, who still lives to tell the tale. He followed the trail; be rounded up the cattle; he chased the jackrabbit; be worried the tenderfoot; he fought with the cook, the prairie dog and the horned toads; he did many other things too numerous to mention here, but interesting to read about later on in the book. He swore some in those days, otherwise he would not have harmonized with the landscape. He was able to see the funny side of things as he went along, which was a fortunate thing; for it kept him going, and often smoothed over rough and dangerous experiences.
