Author: Osborne Russell
Context:
The discussion references Osborne Russell's historical writings about wolverines (carkajew) and bighorn sheep in the Mountain Man era. Russell is mentioned as a historical documenter whose journals described wildlife as 'common' in the 1800s. Steve mentions they're working on a project about Mountain Men and references Russell's descriptions of bighorn sheep populations and encounters with 'sheep specialists.' The context clearly indicates they're discussing Russell's written historical accounts/journals, likely his famous 'Journal of a Trapper,' though the specific title is not mentioned.
