Red Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Ray Houlihan (illustrator). 1st Edition. Minimal wear to boards, pages clean, binding very good. Jacket worn and chipped along the top edge, front and back, otherwise good. William Long was a naturalist, explorer and tracker of national renown. His last book was published in 1923, but he continued to observe and write about nature. After his death in 1952, an extraordinary treasure of unpublished material was discovered by his daughter. The greater part of this book consists of articles taken from this find. The reader wanders with Dr Long through the wilderness of Ontario, the rugged mountain-and-canyon country of the West, the miles of New Brunswick forest, through ever sort of terrain, tracking, watching, noting the habits and characters of the inmates: the wary bushtail fox, the sprightly, capering musk rat, the melancholy-looking but dangerous moose, and the mountain lion, who under his many names - panther, cougar, catamount - is always the elegant tyrant of his kingdom.
