From the book "Cowboys and Cattleland" by his son Harry H. Halsell:
My father had a habit of going into the woods and mavericking on Sundays. One Sunday, while out chasing a maverick, his horse ran into a tree and almost killed him. Another Sunday he was chased by Indians and almost lost his life. The third Sunday, he went, and when he came home my arm was broken. He said, "That is enough. I'll not work any more on Sundays."
