Abstract

The journal documents the field work of Edward A. Goldman in Oklahoma at Wichita National Forest [Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge], August 30 - September 13, 1921. Entries are dated and describe travel details (destinations, mode of transportation, time of day), vegetation (crops), wildlife observed (birds, mammals including elk, deer, buffalo, and herds), weather, and specimens. Sometimes descriptions of flora, fauna, and sites are listed under heading in entries, going into depth about habitat and appearance as well as summaries of conversations with local staff about populations. Locations visited include bat caves. There are also notes about prairie grass and summer fires as well as proposed wildlife population introductions.
