Aldo Leopold's Fox (and legacy)

[LtCol Henderson Marriott]

First rate, Garry;

In his "A Sand County Almanac", Leopold graphically portrays the loss of the last single resident grizzly living atop Escudilla, a well-known mountain near Alpine on the AZ-NM border.
After the loss of the bear to a government trapper, he famously writes of Escudilla as "only a mountain now".

Alpine and Escudilla are just North of my cabin in Greenlee County, Arizona. This border
country was also the Blue-Gila Wilderness area frequented by Ben V. Lilly. It is still wilderness... AL would have liked that.
