| Summary | "Musk-Ox, Bison, Sheep and Goat" by Caspar Whitney, George Bird Grinnell, and Owen Wister is a collection of essays on hunting and natural history written in the early 20th century. The essays detail the personal experiences and observations of the authors as they hunt musk-ox, bison, sheep, and goat in the vast, challenging landscapes of North America. This work aims to provide readers with an understanding of the hunting methods, equipment, and conditions faced in these remote terrains." "The beginning of the book introduces the reader to the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Barren Grounds, where the author recounts his arduous journey and the challenges of hunting musk-oxen. After days of searching for food in a desolate landscape, the excitement of spotting a herd of musk-oxen ignites a race against time as the author strives to catch up with the experienced Indian hunters. The narrative captures his physical struggles, the camaraderie, and the intense determination to succeed despite the grueling conditions, ultimately leading to the thrill of hunting his first musk-ox."
