Environment and Natural Resources
"One must not be nervous in Oregon, especially in the woods. It is not uncommon to see wolves and mountain lions in broad daylight; as to snakes, we meet them often, even in the vegetable garden among the melons and cucumbers....We kill snakes and chase wild cattle as you would brush aside a fly. Only this morning we had to drive out eight wild horses that had entered the enclosure." Sister Mary Aloysia, St. Paul, Oregon, 1845
