Krag the Ram revisited

To the editor,

George Ostrom, I read your article on "Krag The Kootenay Ram" this morning. A ram's head of similar description was shot by my great uncle, Art Stahl, of whom Stahl Peak is named after, before the turn of the century. That head hung for many years over the fireplace at my grandfather Hollensteiner's house in Kalispell.

We never knew what happened to that head other than the rumor that it had somehow wound up in a big fancy hotel in San Francisco. I have many photos of that head over that fireplace, and my mother and father were married standing under that ram's head. And I, too, have that old book by Thompson Seton. It is pretty dog-eared but is still a treasure.
