The Grand Canyon's Uncle Jimmy Owens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467147422)

In 1906, James Uncle Jimmy Owens, at the request of Teddy Roosevelt, moved to the remote North Rim of the Grand Canyon to help control the mountain lion population. He earned a reputation as a legendary hunter and guided hunts and tours for the rich and famous. Passionate about wildlife, Uncle Jimmy started out as a quiet, unassuming cowboy on a cattle ranch in Texas before taking a job as a buffalo warden in Yellowstone and meeting the future president, who would change the course of his life. He spent twenty-three years acquainting himself with the cliffs of the Grand Canyon, where one slip could mean instant death, before fading into obscurity. Join author Albert L. LeCount as he delves into the fascinating life of a forgotten man.
