Note du spécialiste

The present work was the illustration for the letter O in Theodore Roosevelt's In Cowboy-Land published in the June 1893 issue of The Century Magazine. The first sentence of the article reads: "Out on the frontier, and generally among those who spend their lives in, or on the borders of, the wilderness, life is reduced to its elemental condition." (T. Roosevelt, "In Cowboy-Land," p. 276)
