I was working in Carnegie Station at the time. Late in the afternoon I saw this big comet with long tail. People was saying comet would hit the sun and we would live in dark. In this print is my swag on the ground where I was sleeping beside my saddle and bridle. I used to get up early in the mornings, but this morning I felt a sharp pain in my back, like I was stabbed in the back, and I fell backwards. A man found me and helped me up by leaning me against the tree because I couldn't move. This is true story of my back being forever finished.
