Via Basin and Range Watch, a site you should be checking out regularly, this excerpt of a story from Dennis Casebier’s Mojave Road guide (Tales of the Mojave Road)
Last wolf of the East Mojave: Pauline Watson - standing, right - trapped this whitish-colored wolf while getting coyotes near their New York Mountains ranch, on a trapline set at Rock Spring, Cedar Canyon Road, in what is now Mojave National Preserve, 1920s. She did not want to kill it, and some folks from the city tried to take it to a zoo, but it died on the way to Barstow. Photo from the Pauline (Watson) Cote Collection.
There’s a metaphor for you.
