Wolves on the Plains A Wolf Hunt with Greyhounds
An 1883 Theodore Roosevelt account details a wolf hunt in the northern Rockies. A party including Judge Yancy Stump, old man Prindle, a cowboy, and Roosevelt employs track and greyhound hounds to chase and kill two wolves. After strenuous pursuit, the lead wolf is slain by the coordinated pack, with Old Abe and General Grant contributing. The hunt emphasizes dog versus wolf dynamics and the perilous chase across plains and brush.
