Rivers

Ben Lilly describes his hunting adventures to Theodore Roosevelt, noting the names of mountains, valleys, rivers, and canyons in Mexico and New Mexico where he hunts and kills bears and lions. Lilly lists the measurements of the front and hind paws which he uses to track the bears. Lilly is planning to go to Alaska in April and asks if Roosevelt knows of a magazine or paper who would pay for Lilly’s expertise for hunting game in Mexico.
