In the Rogue Blood Quotes

“in the summer of 1845 Edward Little was sixteen years old and restless in his blood.”
― James Carlos Blake, In the Rogue Blood

“They traversed vast and shifting gypsum dunes as fine as lady’s facepowder through which the ponies and mules labored for breath like bellows. The wind blew the sand like seaspray but only the whited bones of men and animals did they find there. They crossed shimmering flats empty of vegetation but for occasional saltbrush and stunted cactus. They rode up narrow arroyos to mesa tops and searched the terrain to every point of the compass and then descended again and rode out into the broiling cracked flats of the playas. They lay on their bellies to skylight the horizon for sign of men to kill.”
― James Carlos Blake, In the Rogue Blood

“slank away”
