San Joaquin Valley Elk Group, Deer Stag Animals Artist Drawn Old Colour PostcardVintage Old Colour Post card, San Joaquin Valley Elk Group, Deer Stag Animals. In the Museum of the California Academy of Science, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. USA. / This beautiful species formerly ranged in vast numbers over the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley. That it did not become entirely extinct as a result of the persecution to which it was subjected is due to the interest taken in it by the late Henry Miller, who gave instructions to the employees on the great cattle ranches of Miller & Lux not to disturb the elk roaming over their land but to protect them in every way possible. This was done, and the only wild herd now left is on the Kern County lands of Miller & Lux. The group here shown represents a scene near Buttonwillow, Kern Co. Calif.
