In this vibrant portrait from Kansas Magazine a frontier essay extols the coyote as the emblem of the border. It narrates the animal’s sly cunning, patient persistence, and predatory feats from stealing saddles to raiding camps, while contrasting it with the buffalo and fox. The piece blends natural history with frontier lore, finishing by praising the coyote’s endurance and social role amid the plains.
The Denver News reports P. T. Barnum has expanded investments in Colorado, including $25,000 in Greeley real estate and $30,000 in Denver property, plus a 30 000 acre Huerfano rancho with 4000 cattle. He aims to raise horses, grows forage, and operates under Robert Moody. Barnum praises Colorado’s air and climate and plans to spend more time in Greeley and Denver next summer. He lectured on Temperance in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, while his Denver daughter’s husband recently recovered from illness.
The narrator praises Peter Cartwright and recalls a rough 19th century camp meeting. Drunken mobs threatened to riot as two well dressed young men laughed and refused to yield seats. He sought a magistrate, arguing he would arrest the pair if demanded, showing frontier boldness and legal risk.
A humorous meditation on laughter contrasts two kinds of mirth from Josh Billings and a strip of curious correspondence from the Hayden expedition. It recalls Yellowstone Falls towering over the canyon and notes hot springs, mud volcanoes, and the Loco motive Jet with temperatures near boiling at altitude.
