"It is not long since we all were cave-men and followed game for food as truly as wildcat or wolf, and the long repression of civilization seems to make the rebound to the savage love of blood all the more violent." Steep Trails
"Songbirds for food! Compared with this, making kindlings of pianos and violins would be pious economy." Our National Parks
| "Some people miss flesh as a drunkard misses his dram. This depraved
appetite stands greatly in the way of free days on the mountains, for
meat of any kind is hard to carry, and makes a repulsive mess when
jammed in a pack. ... So also the butter and milk habit has seized
most people; bread without butter or coffee without milk is an awful
calamity, as if everything before being put in our mouth must first
be held under a cow." John of the Mountains |
