Another interesting book is C. A. Thomson, 1979, Blacks in Deep Snow, J. M. Dent and Sons. Canadian stories.

John Ware, ex-slave, a black cowboy and rancher in Alberta, described one experience in the Macleod Gazette of June 23, 1885, when his horse dumped him, wearing slicker and chaps, in the river:
"Would you believe it, but I'll be dog-garned if those fellers didn't stand on the shore and laugh at me, an' me just drownin' all the time. When I struck bottom an' got out on the bank I looked as if I'd been drowned about two months an' was just resurrected. Them fellers they just stood an' laughed an' one of 'em says: "Git wet, John?" ... Them fellers must have knowed I was wet, slicker an' all, 'cause I looked like a drowned rat." (Not reaction to a black, cowboys would'nt help unless he had been in real trouble- unnecessary help would be resented).
His brand was 9999.
