”Luoja ei ole tehnyt San Carlosia. San Carlos on vanhempi kuin hän. Sitten kuin luoja oli sulkenut paratiisin, tuli hän San Carlosin ohi ja jätti sen sellaiseksi kuin se oli näyttääkseen, miten ennen häntä oli työskennelty. Kuvitelkaa kasa hiekkaa ja tuhkaa ja orjantappuroita ja hehkuvan kuumia kiviä ja niiden alla skorpioneja ja käärmeitä. Se on San Carlos. Ja hiekassa hajallaan istuu Yhdysvaltain armeija ja ajaa apaheja.” Owen Wister (1860—1938) tunnetaan lännenkirjallisuuden uranuurtajana. Hänen kirjansa Virginialainen on muodostunut klassikoksi, mutta Wister kirjoitti myös joukon villin lännen maisemiin sijoittuvia novelleja.
