Excerpt from Camps in the Rockies: Being a Narrative of Life on the Frontier, and Sport in the Rocky Mountains, With an Account of the Cattle Ranches of the West

When the outspoken frontiersman happens to be bored by a stranger, and desires to rid himself of his unwelcome company, he will address him with his usual drawl: "Say, Mister, are you aware that nobody is holding you?"

In laying before the reader an humble record of several little expeditions to some of the least known portions of the Rocky Mountains, I shall have to ask him to camp, to use another Western expression, on the trails of all sorts of beasts and uncouth characters; the least interesting and decidedly the most monotonous of these tracks will, I am afraid, be those of the irrepressible "Ego." For this personage, and for all his faults, I have to claim the good-natured reader's indulgence, and I hope that, remembering the good old adage of noblesse oblige, he will not suit the action to the above but of very savage frontier humour, by summarily ridding himself of his company.
