Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway. John Wayne Larry McMurtry depicts a top hand in his Pulitzer prize-winning novel Lonesome Dove as a “skinny little waddie” who was terrified of crossing rivers. “The fear of drowning in him was strong,” McMurtry writes. And after witnessing the roiling of water moccasins over one of the cowboys in the Nueces River this skinny puncher was on the verge of quitting.
