The Brave Cowboy

The hero, Jack Burns, is a loner who refuses to accept the tyranny of life in the 20th century. He rides his horse down the main street of Duke City, and refuses to carry draft card or any other form of indentification.

First sentence: HE WAS SITTING ON HIS HEELS IN THE COLD LIGHT of the dawn, drawing pale flames through a handful of twigs and dry crushed grass.
