"The death knell for the grizzly in the Southwest was tolled not by a 
church bell but by a train whistle."

"Changing economic conditions, new homesteading laws, and cheap rail 
travel resulted in an ever-increasing influx of settlers, who 
eventually penetrated to the remotest corners of the region."

Press. 1985. p. 97
