Description:Excerpt from The Great Divide: Travels in the Upper Yellowstone in the Summer of 1874 Among narratives of sport and travel in our western country during Indian and buffalo days, some of the liveliest and most entertaining were written by men not "native here and to the manner born," but by foreigners whose lust for new scenes and strange ventures had urged them from afar. Such a one was the Earl of Dunraven, who, in company with an ardent fellow-sportsman, Dr. George Kingsley, spent a good part of the years 1870 to 1876 hunting and fishing in Canada and the western states. While on a visit to Chicago, Lord Dunraven was shown by General Phil Sheridan the mounted head of a superb elk (wapiti), a present from the commandant of a frontier army post. "My enthusiasm," says Dunraven, "rising to a fever heat on a closer inspection of the antlers, nothing would satisfy me but I must be off at once to the fort." And off went the impulsive Irishman, with his English friend, carrying a letter of introduction from Sheridan which was open sesame to every post on the border. Of this first taste of hunting on the plains, Doctor Kingsley wrote to his wife: "The officers of the fort have given us regular western outfits, which are very necessary; and we cannot hunt without a guard of soldiers for fear of the Indians, who are inclined to be nasty.
