[287:21-38] "La Blanca," it turned out was a local name for "Hair- 
Trigger Bob" Meldrum's wife [...] named for a white horse of  
supernatural demeanor she was always seen to ride, usually sticking  
to trails up in the *Savage Basin* [...] black cape billowing, hat  
down on her back, and the light of Heaven on her hair

I'm not sure he 'wanted' to see this. He more likely feared seeing her.

p.297. What is the significance of Frank wanting to see "a white  
horse" with a black rush of hair?  Horses in ATD? Horses as visions  
in ATD?...remember those black horses and riders   in CoL49?
