[The Last of the Plainsmen by Zane Grey]@TWC D-Link bookThe Last of the Plainsmen CHAPTER 8 21/25
The whole surface of the cliff wall bore figures of all shapes--men, mammals, birds and strange devices, some in red paint, mostly in yellow.
Some showed the wear of time; others were clear and sharp. Wallace puffed up to me, but he had wind enough left for another whoop. Jones puffed up also, and seeing the first thing a rude sketch of what might have been a deer or a buffalo, he commented thus: "Darn me if I ever saw an animal like that? Boys, this is a find, sure as you're born.
Because not even the Piutes ever spoke of these figures.
I doubt if they know they're here.
And the cowboys and wranglers, what few ever get by here in a hundred years, never saw these things.
