Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Since the publication of my two animal books, "Kazan, the Wolf Dog" and "The Grizzly King," I have received so many hundreds of letters from friends of wild animal life, all of which were more or less of an inquiring nature, that I have been encouraged to incorporate in this preface of the third of my series - "Baree, Son of Kazan" - something more of my desire and hope in writing of wild life, and something of the foundation of fact whereupon this and its companion books have been written. I have always disliked the preaching of sermons in the pages of romance. It is like placing a halter about an unsuspecting reader's neck and dragging him into paths for which he may have no liking. But if fact and truth produce in the reader's mind a message for himself, then a work has been done. That is what I hope for in my nature books. The American people are not and never have been lovers of wild life. As a nation we have gone after Nature with a gun.

He is rescued from starvation by a beautiful Indian girl, Willow, "...with braids the size of a man's arm...." Fast moving, never dull, filled with accurate infromation about the North. Suitable for both boys and girls who read well and like books packed with adventure and animals.

What a pleasure to discover one of my childhood favorites still available! I lost my print copy over 50 years ago and was delighted to find it available at Kindle.
