- Description:
- The Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) has been noteworthy in all American history as a source of food and more recently a source of sport. Early Rocky Mountainhisotry, it is true, contains more frequent references to the grizzly bear, antelope, and elk. However, when food was a problem to travelers in the forested mountains it was the ruffed grouse, among other native game birds, that sustained them. This important resource was recognized by C. Hart Merriam in a letter of transmittal attached to an economic study of grouse and wild turkey. Merriam states that the "great economic consequence" of grouse was recognized and that their food value played an important part in "furnishing the pioneers with no small part of their fare."
