Lions Attract Frontiersman On Arizona Mountain Trail
JA correspondent to the Arizona Miner describes a frosty morning ascent past Anvil Rock and Axtec Pass where seven cougars or California lions surround his party. He misfires, flees, and narrowly escapes as three large and three small lions stalk and circle them. A sudden arrival of three horsemen spares him, while his horse trembles and later seems to fear lions. The tale is punctuated by a prose poem about a distant lark and nature’s sublime music.
