You should read "Letters from an Elk Hunt" by Elinore Stewart!
This woman back in 1915 or so, took her 3 babies up to the Wind Rivers for a 6 week long elk hunt. The kids only consumed coffee and cornbread and elk meat. They stayed in a canvas tent slept on the ground and it got so cold and snowy that her ink would freeze as she wrote her letters. Great book, all true! It's amazing how little they got by with back then. Talks about the towns of Cora and Pinedale too. |
