‘MURDOCH MYSTERIES’
“THE GREAT WHITE MOOSE”
“THE GREAT WHITE MOOSE”
The first I went hunting was in Maine.
I
was taught by the best.
Bill
Sewall, Wilmot Dow.
William Murdoch:
William Murdoch:
What
were you hunting?
President Roosevelt:
Waterfowl, mostly.
President Roosevelt:
Waterfowl, mostly.
I
was rather nervous at first.
The
anticipation.
The
exhilaration of lying in wait, finger on the trigger.
And now I lie in wait for someone to shoot me.
From the National Parks & Recreation:
“They were tough, hardy, resolute fellows, quick as cats, strong as bears, and able to travel like bull moose." -Theodore Roosevelt writing on Sewall and Dow
"We were very close in those days and he talked over about everything with me.” -Bill Sewall reflecting on Theodore Roosevelt in the 1880s
William Wingate Sewall and Wilmot Dow first met Theodore Roosevelt in the 1870s, when they served as hunting guides for Roosevelt in Maine. Although they were skilled outdoorsmen, hunters, and woodsmen, that hardly qualified them for work as ranch hands; Sewall was more comfortable riding logs than he was riding horses. Nevertheless, when Roosevelt asked his two trusted companions to manage his new Elkhorn Ranch in 1884, they agreed.
