“Steve [Stevens] has always loved the free life of the wild animals and some of his happiest times have been spent observing them. In 1929, he got his first real taste of the West on a ranch near Cody, Wyoming. When he wasn’t modeling he could usually be found hunting bears, moose, elk, or guiding guests on pack trips. Later he went on an exciting mountain lion hunt in the Bradshaw Mountains of Arizona. Some of the tales of these hunts have been recorded by Steve in manuscript form and illustrated with over one hundred carved blocks.”
