Theodore Roosevelt thinks the proof of George Bird Grinnell’s article is “one of the most interesting articles I have ever read” and thinks it offers a more descriptive narrative than a scientist, such as Schufeldt, could ever provide. Roosevelt does question Grinnell’s point about the wolves regarding the Indians as friends, since the Indians were killing many wolves for their furs.
