The narrative follows a rugged loner and self-taught naturalist who arrived in southeastern Alaska in 1901, seeking fortune but discovering his true calling. Mastering various skills such as prospecting and trapping, he gained fame as an exceptional bear hunter. His experiences on natural history expeditions and guiding sportsmen led to a profound respect for wildlife, shifting his focus from hunting to conservation. Author Howe presents a nuanced portrayal of this extraordinary individual, capturing his wit, independence, and the duality of his character within the Alaskan wilderness.
