". . . They got the bear into a cleft in the mountain from which there was no escape, and he suddenly charged back through the line of his pursuers, struck down one of the horsemen, seized the arm of the man in his jaws . . . ." The gifted author Theodore Roosevelt spent several years among the mountains and upon the plains of the great West in search of the big game of those regions. These experiences of outdoor life, adventure and chase are vividly described. This book is one of the rare books which sportsmen will be glad to add to their libraries.Mr. Roosevelt had good sport with the grizzly bears, though in mountains many hundred miles away from his own settlement. Thanks to the recklessness of his companion, he had one or two narrow "shaves "; but considerable experience brought him to the deliberate conclusion that " old Ephraim," will never show fight unless he be cornered; or unless he believe himself cornered, which comes to the same thing. Mr. Roosevelt had only heard of a couple of fatal accidents, and both might be easily accounted for. In fact, Ephraim seems to possess the human intelligence with which the superstitious old mountain-men credited him. He used to laugh at the Indian arrows and lances. When he charged home he was sure to chaw them up. ContentsI. A TRIP ON THE PRAIRIEII. A TRIP AFTER MOUNTAIN SHEEPIII. THE LORDLY BUFFALOIV. STILL-HUNTING ELK ON THE MOUNTAINV. OLD EPHRAIM
