THE GRIZZLY BEARThe Narrative of a Hunter-Naturalist—Historical,Scientific and AdventurousBYWILLIAM H. WRIGHTWith 24 Full-Page Illustrations from Photographs$1.50 net; postpaid $1.65“This is the narrative of a hunter-naturalist, who deals with a single animal as he has found it in the Western mountains. It is the best book that has ever been written about any of the bears. One of the best books that has ever been written from the popular standpoint about a single species of animal. It deserves far more extended notice than it can receive here and will be read carefully and thoughtfully by naturalists and big game hunters who may learn much from it.”—Forest and Stream.“Far more entertaining than a novel.”—William T. Hornaday.“One of the best books of adventure that has appeared in many months.”—San Francisco Chronicle.“Full of the atmosphere of the big game woods and vibrant with hazards of the chase.”—Boston Globe.“The very spirit of the grizzly is in subtle fashion brought near us. The book will long hold high place in the literature of sport.”—New York Tribune.“Well illustrated with photographs of bears taken in the woods set off by the animals themselves.”—Spokesman Review.“An excellent work.... The book is fascinating in its descriptions and furnishes another proof that if truth is not stranger than fiction, it is at least more interesting.”—The Independent.“The volume is most entertaining and wholesome. It is filled with the atmosphere of the wide open outdoors and it ought to appeal to everybody who has a drop of red blood in his veins.”—Brooklyn Times.“All the beauty and glory of life in the open permeate this book. It is a book for live boys, for active men, for every Diana spirit chained to domestic or professional task, for all Americans keen for adventure, and zestful for nature truths.... This is a genuine hunter-naturalist’s narrative. Its historical and scientific facts are savored with the spice of the camp-fire story-teller’s style.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.“This book should grace the library of every true American.”—Portland (Oregon) Evening Telegram.Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York
