GAME AND FISH RESORTS. 9/ 



canon of the Yellowstone, and thiscan be gained only during the months of June, 

 July, August, and September. There is also a tiail over the mountains, touching 

 the upper end of the vallev leading from the great Shoshone l-~alls and head of 

 the Snake River, via the head waters of the Madison and Gallatin rivers— both of 

 which have valleys similar to, but much smaller than the Yellowstone— to the 

 great buffalo range between this district and the Missouri. This is known as the 

 Bannock Trail. 



The sportsman will go by the Pacific Railroad to Evanston or Cheyenne, and 

 thence to Fort Ellis, six days from the Great Basin, with fine hunting and fishing 

 all the way. He will require heavy clothing, and all the requisites for camping 

 out. The travel will not be found especially difficult, nor will the danger be great, 

 as the Indians, having a superstitious reverence for the valley, believing it to be 

 the abode of the Great Spirit, never enter it. One very fine canon of the Yellow- 

 stone can be reached from Fort Ellis in a very few hours, being about twenty 

 miles from that place and ten or eleven above the Crow Indian Agency. 



NEBRASKA. 



Area 75,995 square miles; population 116,196. The surface 

 of the State is a rolling prairie, rising gradually towards the west 

 into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. There is very little for- 

 est or timber land in the State. The country is still, in a great 

 measure, unsettled and abounds in all the game common to the 

 plains of the West. The means of communication are imperfect, 

 but from the line of the Union Pacific and other railroads, hunting 

 parties may start out to the game regions, which will be found of 

 easy access. The sportsman must, in a large measure, depend 

 upon the results of the chase.
