Hunting in the Yellowstone

5/5 ( ratings)

Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, 4th Earl of Dunraven , was an Irish journalist, landowner, entrepreneur, sportsman and Conservative politician. During the early stages of the South African War 1899-1902, the British Army suffered defeats at the hands of the Boer Commandos, composed of men who were first class shots and good horsemen. The effect at home was to produce a rush of volunteers. The Earl of Dunraven formed a committee in Dec 1899 to raise a squadron of 'Sharpshooters' from those volunteers who could both ride and shoot well. By March 1900, a full battalion had been raised. Lord Dunraven spent a great deal of his leisure time hunting wild game in various parts of the world. After hearing of the fine hunting in the American West he decided to visit, first arriving in 1872 where he met and befriended Texas Jack Omohundro who acted as a guide and lead the earls party on buffalo and elk hunts.

According to famous outdoorsman Horace Kephart :
"AMONG narratives of sport and travel in our western country during Indian and buffalo days, some of the liveliest and most entertaining were written by men not "native here and to the manner born," but by foreigners whose lust for new scenes and strange ventures had urged them from afar. Such a one was the Earl of Dunraven, who, in company with an ardent fellow-sportsman, Dr. George Kingsley, spent a good part of the years 1870 to 1876 hunting and fishing in Canada and the western States."
