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.
