Excerpt from The Iron Mountain Route: And Branches Reaches Since the early explorations of the Mississippi by the adventurous La Salle, who traveled the Father of Waters from source to mouth, the heavily timbered low grounds along its lower course have been deservedly famous for a variety and profusion of game, unrivalled throughout the length and breadth of our country. Centuries have passed since powder and lead first superseded the Indian's arrow in its destructive work among the deer and bears of the great Southwest, and in this interval the bison herds of the plains have been literally annihilated, and the wildest recesses of the Rocky Mountains penetrated in search of game; but still the brakes of the Southern swamps guard their denizens as jealously as in the past - a vast and inexhaustible reservoir replenishing from its abundance the game supply of a thinly inhabited region two hundred miles in width and reaching from Southern Missouri to the waters of the Mexican Gulf. Here, sheltered by the impenetrable tangles of brush and briar, and secure in the solitude they love from the intrusive gaze of their human enemies, the graceful fawns gambol about their dam in fearless glee, and the mother bear teaches her ungainly offspring the first lessons in the school of life. Theirs is the unbroken solitude of a great forest - that one thing essential to the preservation of our noblest species of big game; and, in the present as in the past, they enjoy an immunity from danger of whistling lead shared by the game of no other region, however remote. A north and south line drawn through the center of the United States to-day will divide the remnant of American game in almost equal portions.
