"My story isn't the
only story to be told
around these parts.
Soldiers and
explorers, cowboys
and townsmen,
newcomers and
natives, have all left
their mark on my
country. Sometimes
in the dark of the
night, in the shadows
cast by campfires, you
can still see the spirits
of those who came
before, and for a cup
of bitter coffee and a
warm spot by the fire
they might even share
their story with you."
