The Territorial Grizzly

[brotherbear]

The Grizzly, Our Greatest Wild Animal by Enos Abijah Mills - published in 1919.

The territory dominated by Old Timberline had an area of about eighty square miles. The western boundary-line followed the rim of the Continental Divide for nearly fifteen miles. Meeker Ridge and Cony Creek were other boundary-lines, while at the north stood Chief's Head Mountain and Long's Peak. Toward the south the territory narrowed and was not more than two miles across; in the center it must have been nearly ten miles wide. An extensive area lay above the timber-line. There were forests primeval, a number of canons and streams, numerous small lakes and beaver ponds. In this varied and extensive region Old Timberline had all the necessities of life and many of the luxuries of beardom. Reply
