Printed on back: This faithful dog has been with the expedition from the start. Jim has had more adventures than any other dog living; run over by a trolley car, then again by a heavily loaded truck where the other dog was killed that he was fighting and he nearly so; then hooked over the fence by an irrate cow and again by Dave thrown over a sage brush; then again kicked into the air by a vicious horse and then again tackled by a wolf and finally lost in New York City for three days. Yet ever ready to stand guard over the wagon, never willing to ride while the team is in motion; Jim is indeed a great dog.

Printed on back: With light cattle on the plains in pioneer days, shoeing was not so imperative; but with a heavy team (nearly a ton each) of 1906 the case was different and caused much anxiety and care. Once, on the summit of the Rocky Mountains and above the clouds we had to throw the Dave Ox to get a shoe on him; two shoes to each foot; nailed into the hoof, same as with the horses; shod 17 times during the whole trip.

Printed on back: This remarkable nice view, one of many hundreds taken, shows the fine details of the wagon better than usual, even to the linch pin, if the reader will look closely; the famous hub (front wheel) that did service across the Plains 58 years ago is here seen set "sound as a dollar."
