They were using steers for work the way they used oxen in Southern Texas. Sam took two steers and went out to haul some wood:
As I was going through the bush I ran upon a warrior of the Comanche tribe--just one--that was plenty. Then the race began--yes, I run him plum to death by keeping in the lead. There must have been two there at the time, or he lived over the race, for an Indian came up to me at Fort Griffin 12 years later. He said, "Howdy Leaping Deer."
