ii6 THE DEER FAMILY 



" But the Indians are passing away here as else- 

 where, and camps on the mountains are fewer every 

 year." * 



I visited Yosemite long before it was a public park, 

 but even in those days there were notices posted on 

 the trees near the hotel requesting visitors not to 

 shoot the deer with a blue-ribbon on its neck.
