Summary: Relates the adventures of a little burro who blazed trails through the Grand Canyon and met many famous people in the process. As the summer days passed, Brighty became Uncle Jim's steady companion in all his work. By and by he actually went on lion hunts. One cool, bracing morning in late July the very air seemed charged with expectancy. A heavy dew had drenched the earth, and lion scent promised to be sharp and clean. Everyone was eager to be off, Uncle Jim and his hounds and Brighty and the mules. But most excited of all were the special guests, President Theodore Roosevelt and his towheaded son, Quentin. They had come all the way from the capital city for Quentin's first cougar hunt. Just as gray dawn gave way to sunrise, the party took off. Brighty alone wore a warning bell, as he was the only animal young and tender enough for lions to attack.
