By Jory Sherman
We are the long-stilled voices of your ancestors speaking from the past.
We are echoes of those who were already here in the New World and those
who came after and settled these now United States. We are the Native
Americans who roamed the West, first on foot, and later on horseback. We
are the explorers, the fur trappers and traders, the soldiers, the men and
women who rode in wagons across the Great Plains and left our bones on
silent prairies and in frozen mountain keeps.
We are the people with long memories who sat by lonesome campfires and
listened to the stories told under the stars. We are the ones who first
saw the greatness of the land and the mingling of peoples, who found the
gold and the timber and the oil, who saw life and death and greed and
avarice and theft and slaughter. We are those who remind you of who you
are, where you came from and where you are going.
We are your conscience and your guilt. We are those who surveyed the
unnamed places and put names and measurements to towns and cities and
rivers and streams and mountains and valleys. We are those who followed
the buffalo and the eagle, who first spoke to the Redman in sign language
and died on trackless plains with dreams in our hearts and prayers on our
lips.
We are the chroniclers of those times when our nation was raw and young
and untamed and restless and without boundaries. We are the voices of all
who came westward and we speak to those now living and to those who will
come after and wonder what the land was like, and who the people were and
what happened over the centuries of blood and violence and progress.
We are those who paint pictures with words, who relate the forgotten
stories, who look into the dark caves and light a torch so that all may
see what lies inside and beyond.
We are those who live part of our lives in the past and ride a horse
called History and who bring life to everything and everyone who died on
the westward trek.
We are who you really are if you will but look in your hearts and wonder.
We come from everywhere and come in all sizes and shapes. We are people
born of another time and place who inscribe our stories in your hearts. We
are those who write down the names on tombstones and mark the olden trails
so that you who read us might trace the steps of your fathers and mothers,
your grandfathers and grandmothers, your great grandfathers and great
grandmothers and see what they saw and wrote down in their diaries and
told their children who told their children who then told us.
We are the observers of both fate and destiny; the alchemists who
transform the lead of the past into the gold of the future. We are the
bearers of tidings, both ill and good. We are the keepers of the flame who
refuse to let the old campfires die out.
We are those who write down what we see and hear and feel, taste and touch
so that all may know what the West really was and what it means to all
future generations. We are those who never die, who live as long as words
are spoken and ears will hear. We are those who see through the mists of
time and walk through the valleys of shadows and wander the long prairies
of memory so that you will know that we passed by all those places that
are now paved over and gouged out and dammed up and slashed down and
scarred and vacant of all former life, where the old footprints have been
obliterated.
We are those now called Western writers and we are proud to carry the
label. We still ride the West on a horse called History, singing our old
songs and telling the grand stories of yesteryear.
