The Stonemason looks good, I just ordered a copy. The quote is given by the Judge in chapter 11. Glanton's gang is making their way north, following the forests of the Gila, when they come upon the ruins at Keet Seel. Just before, the Judge tells the story of all men. It appears as if it were his own history, but then it also appears as if it were the kid's, and by the end, every member of Glanton's gang "remembers" it differently.
Also in that chapter is the only reference I have ever read of the massacre at Gnadenhutten. Growing up in Ohio, I am shocked by how completely native American history was erased from midwestern/east coast curricula. I am grateful for McCarthy's research and attention to detail, even if others deem his writing inappropriate.
