The author, Grey Owl, is a half-breed Indian. He trekked, in his early twenties, into Canada and followed the life of a bush Indian, trapping, fire-ranging, and guiding. During the Great War, he enlisted in the 13th Montreal Battalion, became a sniper, and saw service in France. On return, he tried his hand at writing an article on Canadian Wild Life, and his letters were so original and full of local color that he was encouraged to write this book. Contents: I.
