Roosevelt hunts coyotes as search for wolves moves west
President Roosevelt begins tracking coyotes and jackrabbits on the Kiowa Comanche reservation while a pack of forty dogs under John Abernathy pursues wolves near Frederick Oklahoma. A heavy wind and rain storm hits Frederick and the president’s party, with a temporary federal office set up in Fort Worth Texas to handle needs as the hunt shifts to western Colorado. The plan calls for a train run to Frederick then to Colorado Springs with a two hour stop, no speeches expected.
