Chapter XXII
LONG ODDS. The Brazos River, along this part of its course, flowed through bluffy country. Here and there the low bluffs gave way to show the river, sparkling in between. The old corral came distinctly into view at about the time a wave of stampeding cattle rolled down toward the plain out of the mouth of one of the gullies in the bluffs. Buffalo Bill shifted his eyes from the log walls of the corral to the rushing tide of steers.
