plainsman

So I fell back on the simple methods of the plainsman and Indian and jogged along on their trail.

Only the plainsman's ingrained horror of throwing away a chance held them, shivering pitiably, to their places.

"Tell us when to fire, Auberry," I heard Belknap say, for he had practically given over the situation to the old plainsman.

When he spoke it was with the languid drawl of the Western plainsman.

He was uneasy lest the old plainsman should have been concerned in the shooting.
