(Long, Lat)
Description:
John Fox was for many years a hunter, packer, and guide in the Kings River region, with headquarters at Millwood. He built a cabin and a bridge in Kings River CaƱon. “But Fox can afford to be flippant about bears; he used to be a professional hunter of them, and long ago he, with his partner, killed two hundred and thirty-six grizzlies in the Rocky Mountains. But at last a grizzly got his partner, and Fox exchanged the Rockies for an abode in the Sierra. He has been there seventeen years now; says he likes it better than he does anything else, and proposes to ‘stay with it.’” (Bolton Coit Brown, in S.C.B., 1897, II:2, p. 91.) From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
