An angler's reminiscences; a record of sport, travel and adventure, with autobiography of the author . olves had exposed the bones ofall whose skins had been taken by eating off the meat. There were no hungrywolves that year. Not a howl was heard. The year previous, in 1874, Congressman Fort, of Illinois, had introduced abill to protect the buftaloes, but those whose business was to fight the Indians hadalready decided that the least dangerous, least expensive and most expeditiousmethod was to destroy their rations and wipe out their subsistence. Knowing thegame that was on the Indians fought desperately at the Little Big Horn, and allalong the navigable rivers in Montana the steamboat men had to ironclad theirpilot houses to protect their river men from marauders on the cliff. The sagaciousCrows were then quite willing to cede the right of way to the Northern Pacificrailroad in 1881, whereby they might receive food to supply the lack of buffalo meat. Referring to the action and display of buffalo and antelope afield on theArkansas in the 70s, Dr. A. J. Woodcock writes poetically: (42). DK. A. J. WOODCOCK.
