War in the West Quotes

“We rode in silence partly because we were listening for pursuit but also because men reflect after a battle. If there is the opportunity, they talk of it with the other warriors but when that is not possible, they have a conversation in their heads with themselves. They run over every blow they struck, wondering if they could have done it differently. Every warrior knows that he will have to fight again and learning from what you did could save you the next time.”
― Griff Hosker, War in the West
