“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark.

But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

“A saint is good who wanders constantly.
Water is good which flows continuously.”

Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.”
