"Besieged by Peccaries"

In conjunction with the Institute of the American West, KBGL-TV (Pocatello), produced a one hour video documentary called "Inventing the West," focused on human interactions during the nineteenth and twentieth century. The collection is comprised of both illustrations of these events and photographs of groups of people. An illustration of an adult and child with a shotgun in a tree shooting down at a pack of peccaries with the original caption ""Besieged by Peccaries." From Mayne Reid, The Desert Home (London, 1852), opposite p. 433. (From the Special Collections of the University of California at Los Angeles Library.)"
