Notes

  • 'It was sweet music to me to have Tom Quilty say I knew something about cattle. He, like myself, belongs to a past generation. But in his day the mention of Tom Quilty's name around camp-fires brought a hushed silence. He was the master. He may be old and beastly respectable now. But in his day there were few who could pace it with him and stay with him'. - Henry G. Lamond (introductory note)
