Excerpt from Saddle and Camp, in the Rockies, an Expert's Picture of Game Conditions in the Heart of Our Hunting Country For several years it had been my desire to see intimately some of the wilder sections of the Rocky Mountain region, and personally observe the big game ranges and game conditions. In the spring of 1910 I was so fortunate as to be in position to complete arrangements for the trip, which I planned to make with saddle and pack animals, starting in Arizona and proceeding northward across intervening States into Montana, a total distance of nearly two thousand miles. Not only would the journey take me through some of the best big game country in the United States, but it promised unusual interest in many other ways. It would carry me into what we may call the remnant of our frontier, over big cattle ranges, through Apache, Navajo, Hopi, and Paiute Indian country, across desert reaches, and would give me a view of many of the natural wonders in which our West is so rich.
