GRINNELL, JOSEPH; DIXON, JOSEPH S.; and LINSDALE, JEAN M.
_Fur-Bearing Mammals of California: Their Natural History,
Systematic Status, and Relation to Man_, two volumes,
University of California Press, Berkeley, 1937. The king, so
far, of all state natural histories.
HALL, E. RAYMOND. _Mammals of Nevada_, University of
California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1946. So far as
my knowledge goes, this is the only respect-worthy book extant
pertaining to the state whose economy is based on fees from
divorces and gambling and whose best-known citizen is Senator
Pat McCarran.
HARTMAN, CARL G. _Possum_, University of Texas Press, Austin,
1952. This richly illustrated book comprehends
{illust. caption =
Charles M. Russell, in _The Blazed Trail of the
Old Frontier_ by Agnes C. Laut (1926)}
everything pertaining to the subject from prehistoric
marsupium to baking with sweet potatoes in a Negro cabin. It
is the outcome of a lifetime's scientific investigation not
only of possums but of libraries and popular talk.
