Nature
might be good, but any art suggesting nature's virility was
indecent. There was such an uprising of Victorian taste that
what distinguishes a bull from a cow had to be painted out. A
similar artistic operation had to be performed on the bull
signifying Bull Durham tobacco--once the range favorite for
making cigarettes.

HORN, TOM. _Life of Tom Horn . . . Written by Himself,
together with His Letters and Statements by His Friends, A
Vindication_. Published (for John C. Coble) by the Louthan
Book Company, Denver, 1904. Who wrote the book has been
somewhat in debate. John C. Coble's name is signed to the
preface attributing full authorship to Horn. Of Pennsylvania
background, wealthy and educated, he had employed Horn as a
stock detective on his Wyoming ranch. He had the means and
ability to see the book through the press. A letter from his
wife to me, from Cheyenne, June 21,1926, says that Horn wrote
the book.
