Excerpt from Knocking Round the Rockies: Illustrated It was , my good fortune, In 1874, to become attached to the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, through the invitation of its chief. This led to my making a foot-and-saddle campaign through the southern part of the Rocky Mountains. It was so enjoyable and profitable a summer, that I have since availed myself of every opportunity to explore the fastnesses of those noble ranges, and I now propose to refresh pleasant recollections by recounting some experiences - none of which were startling, it may as well be said to start with. If the reader should chance to recognize something he has read before, he should remember that I have dredged the material for these pages out of the deep sea of magazine* and newspaper files where they sunk, years ago, after the briefest possible surface-existence.
