Fir...The Great Moose Controversy has intrigued me! First I don't believe anyone has mentioned the Barnum & London "poster" that I took a photo of in CWM in 1994. Across the bottom it advertises, "RARE TEAMS-as they appear trotting to harness-ON THE GRAND HIPPODROME TRACK." The lower left quadrant features what appears to be a fully grown, fully antlered bull moose pulling a sulky. The huge "poster" appears to be dated 1888.<BR/> Last, I have been acquainted for many years with the retired General Director and the retired Curator of Mammals of the NY Zoological Society (WCI) and asked them years ago why I can't recall ever seeing a moose in the Bronx Zoo. Their collective reply falls in line with previous comments seen here, ie dietary and health problems.<BR/> Paul GutheilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-14841336042308827712007-03-01T19:19:00.000-05:002007-03-01T19:19:00.000-05:00OleWhitey, I was a "MOOSE".

The photographer was Charles Mathers, who worked mostly in Alberta cira 1910- (so I suspect 1916 is correct.) Maybe he visited the Dakotas and Montana, he was certainly an avaid photographer of what was left of Plains and Woodland (Cree) Indian culture.<BR/><BR/>BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-80847255377298956252007-02-28T15:04:00.000-05:002007-02-28T15:04:00.000-05:00A bit more digging and I found this picture in the...A bit more digging and I found this picture in the Library of Congress Collection, dated 1916 Pine Ridge, SD; and improperly cited as an Alaska picture on a couple other internet sites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-23708865249096793052007-02-28T14:35:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:35:00.000-05:00I found this one in an old photo archive called "T...I found this one in an old photo archive called "The American Adventure," and then another copy -- along with other "moose in harness photos" in a Maine site. I'm guessing this might have taken in upper high plains or Rockies where natives did indeed live in tipis and where moose were found. Virtually all of the photos in the archive date between 1890 and 1930. It's not a photoshopped photo, nor does it appear to have been retouched. The "authentic" moose in harness pictures I've seen all appear to be younger cows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-4585667297325281852007-02-28T14:02:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:02:00.000-05:00It comes from snopes.comIt comes from snopes.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-72699468466619858252007-02-28T14:01:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:01:00.000-05:00FOR SALE: One draft horse, easy-keeper, bomb-proof...FOR SALE: One draft horse, easy-keeper, bomb-proof, broke to harness, 1/16 Irish Draught the rest unknown.
