FROM REBECCA HAMILTON, thoughts on manliness and fatherhood. “Daddy was teaching more than how to ride and care for a horse, more even than not to steal. He was teaching me a whole set of values. He was also, though neither of us was aware of it, teaching me about men. There wasn’t a plan in this. I feel confident that my daddy never read a single book on how to raise kids. He didn’t make dates to ‘have a talk’ with me or attempt to manipulate me. He just talked to me as part of our daily interactions. Like I was a person.”
