    • Abstract:
      In October 1907 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt set out on a hunting trip in the northern Louisiana canebrake country near Tensas Bayou. Lilly was also famed for his pack of devoted hunting hounds, which he trained to track and corner bears and mountain lions. Lilly took note of those that performed especially well, as did other hunters, who clamored for the pick of the litter of Lilly's best hounds. In addition to his famed service as a guide for President Roosevelt, Lilly made headlines guiding a 1921 bear-hunting excursion for Oklahoma oil tycoon W.H. McFadden. [Extracted from the article]
