Abstract
MR. BAILLIE-GROHMAN has already made himself known as an intrepid hunter, a close observer of nature, and a charming raconteur. In the volume before us he shows no falling off in any of these points, and seems quite as much at home among the parks and peaks of the Rocky Mountains as he is among the chamois-haunted precipices of the Tyrol. The present volume is the result of more than one visit, mainly for sporting purposes, to the Far West, between the Yellowstone Park and Utah. Of the wild life of the ranchers and hunters of the region he has much to tell, and many exciting stories of his own hunting experiences. He adds, moreover, not a little to our knowledge of the topography, geology, and natural history of a region, of many parts of which we yet know little. On the Cañons of the Colorado region he has some interesting notes. We shall be pleased to have another such book from Mr. Grohman.
