- One of Cassidy's unlikely friends, "the meanest horse in the West"
Context
Many things are said of Pecos Bill, and one of those things is that he sometimes rides a cougar instead of a horse. Maybe Boots is the same cougar that was ridden by Pecos Bill and Cassidy! Legends say that Pecos Bill was born soon after Cassidy, in the 1830s, though the first legends of Pecos Bill didn't appear until 1917. Then again, in an earth that includes Confederate vampires, perhaps Cassidy and Pecos go way back?
I haven't yet found any legend about a giant cougar. Although, the name "boots" is interesting because there is a shoe and boots manufacturer called "Cougar," with stores in the US and Canada.

Asuri has a skin available to her that may be in reference to this piece of lore.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, but I find the connection unlikely because Asuri is from India, while Cassidy is from America.
