They were of the same general breed of mam- 
mals, and were the only mollusks that were able 
to hold their own against the Megatherium, the 
Ichthyosaura, and other flesh eating birds of the 
birdo-reptilian period, and did it then only 
through that vigilance which is the price of lib- 
erty, and that union in which is strength. All 
honor to the brave ! 
The tracks attributed to the Old Silurian Ass, 
were not made by the Old Silurian Ass. I made 
them myself. I made them myself, and I am 
not an Old Silurian Ass. I may be some kind of 
an ass, and some observers have held the theory 
that I was and am; but I am not an Old Silurian 
Ass. I made those tracks; and I make the same 
tracks now; and it appears that even an expert 
cannot tell it from an Old Silurian Ass’s tracks, 
and neither can I, for that matter; but it is not 
an Old Silurian Ass’s track, just the same, any 
more than lam an Old Silurian Ass; yet the per- 
son who calls the track out yonder an Old Silu- 
rian Ass’s track, does in effect call me an Old 
Silurian Ass, by reason that I made that track. 
And it must not be repeated. For I have my 
feelings, as well as another; and the man that 
calls me an Old Silurian Ass, and proves it, shall 
not go out of this world alive. I have said it, 
The language may be intemperate, but the prov- 
ocation is great. 
These scientists are in an ill-concealed sweat 
because they cannot tell why there are so many 
tracks, and all going one way, all going north. 
It was a large legislature, dear sirs; and the 
saloon was north. This is history, not conjee 
ture. For I was there — in person. 
And they cannot divine why the Primeval 
Man took such short steps v yet with so little lat- 
eral spread. Think of the feet he carried; also 
remember his condition ; of course a person could 
not spread laterally, in his condition, as he could 
formerly, when sober; necessarially he would 
spread laterally, formerly, but not laterally, the 
conditions being reversed, you see. This seems 
simple. Also unanswerable. 
And they are perturbed because they cannot 
tell why the rocks are so confused, and move in 
such subtily sinuous curves. Listen then; I will 
explain this also. It is a law of nature that 
whiskey cannot be conveyed in straight lines 
by a legislature, except in buckets. A legisla- 
ture never uses buckets, man. 
I am done. 
Such is history. Such are the Carson Foot- 
prints. They are not fossiliferous, they are leg- 
islative; they are uniform; they are identical with 
the tracks deposited by all adjourning legisla- 
tures. In the West, I mean. Let us have peace.
