from an elevated point of view. Again, a few 
days later he notes a few. On Aug. 4 a few 
were also observed in western Oklahoma, two or 
three days later several gangs are mentioned 
Aug. 16 he remarks, while on the Canadian: “We 
had for some days observed a few wild horses, 
and they were now becoming numerous. It 
would appear from the paths we have seen that 
they sometimes perform long journeys.” Aug. 23 
he refers to the most notable herd of the trip 
“four or five hundred standing among the scat¬ 
tered trees of the river bottom. They took flight 
on our approach.” In Long’s summing up of the 
wild horses of the Canadian he says: “They were 
undoubtedly numerous in some parts of the coun¬ 
try, but not abundant.” 
In 1832 Washington Irving left Fort Gibson. 
Indian Territory, upon his well known “Tour of 
the Prairies” which extended to western Okla¬ 
homa, near the Texas border. Eleven days out 
a herd of half a dozen wild horses were seen, a 
few days later another half a dozen and subse¬ 
quently a few more; none, apparently, that were 
large. A year or two afterward the Indian Terri¬ 
tory was visited by Catlin, of whom Parkman 
justly says “he is a shallow observer.” Catlin's 
inexplicitly speaks of “numerous herds of horses 
many of which we saw every day.” 
No records from this time until 1849 are 
accessible to the writer that bear upon this sub¬ 
ject. In the year mentioned Capt. R. B. Marcy 
proceeded with an expedition from Fort Smith, 
Ark., to Santa Fe and return, 2,023 miles without 
noting a single wild horse. In the same year 
Lieut. Michler traversed the Indian Territory and 
Texas to the river Pecos, and also over another 
route through Texas; but no fiery, untamed 
steeds appear, upon either occasion, to have 
coursed along his line of sight. Lieut. Ives and 
Lieut. Wm. T. Smith also headed two separate 
exeditions in 1849, over distinct routes to El 
Paso, without apparently beholding any horses 
save those in bondage. Three years later in 1832 
Capt. R. B. Marcy led another expedition to the 
sources of the Red river and mentions that he 
captured one solitary wild horse “with a brand, 
probably an estray from a band of Indians.” In 
1854 Capt. Marcy set out on another journey 
through the Indian Territory and a portion of 
Texas, during which was revealed, on one occa¬ 
sion, some horse tracks, presumptively wild. 
The first explorer of the Northwest was a 
French lieutenant named Verendrye who reached 
the Mandan villages upon the upper Missouri in 
1738, to then die of the hardships incident to the

FOR SALE! 
Ideal Hunting Preserve 
This property, which abounds in ducks, wild 
turkey, deer and sundry other kinds of game, is 
near Georgetown, S. C., and consists of 4,700 
acres, one-half being virgin timber and the re¬ 
maining half rice-fields. Its location is ideal for 
either a gentleman’s country home or a sport- 
man’s club; the homestead on the property can 
be easily and economically remodeled for either 
of these purposes. During the closed season the 
lands could be farmed and the timber turpentined 
or sold, and thus make the property absolutely 
self-supporting. This section is noted for its 
fine country homes and hunting preserves. For 
price and detailed information address: W.
