Scope and content
ca. 1909. Herd of Roosevelt elk in the Olympic Mountains. The Roosevelt elk, largest of North American elk and named after Theodore Roosevelt, had powerful bodies that allowed them to break through snowdrifts, flourish in high altitudes, and also swim. The dark coated elk were photographed amidst the snow and barren trees by Grant W. Humes circa 1909.
