, Southwestern U.S.

Origin of ladrone¹

1550–60; < Spanish ladrón < Latin latrōn- (stem of latrō ) mercenary, bandit

When I came to myself I was under my horse, saddle and all, and Ladrone was looking down at me in wonder.

I will keep Ladrone—I am going to take him home with me—but the remainder of the outfit is yours.

Ladrone lost the proud arch of his neck and the light lift of his small feet.

I took a boyish delight in showing that Ladrone would walk a log or leap a ditch at the mere touch of my heel.

In this action not a single Ladrone vessel was destroyed, and their loss about thirty or forty men.
