Excerpt from Stories From Northern TrailsThe reader who follows these trails will find them leading into a new country, a land of space andosilence where it is good to be, away up among the mountains and woods and salmon rivers and mossy barren grounds of Labrador and Newfoundland. There he will find himself face to face with new animals white wolf, fisher, salmon, wild goose, polar bear, and a score of others big and little - that stop their silent hunting to look at the intruder curiously and without fear. In his turn he will lay aside his gun and his thoughts of killing for a moment, and watch these animals with his heart as well as his eyes wide Open, trying to see without prejudice just what things they are doing, and then to understand if possible why and how they do them why, for instance, the big Arctic wolf spares the bull caribou that attacks him wantonly, why the wild goose has no fear at home why the baby seals are white at birth, how the salmon climb the falls which they cannot jump, and why they hasten back to the sea' when they are hurt, how the whale speaks without a voice and what makes the fisher confuse his trail, or leave beside it a tempting bait for you when you are following him, - all these and twenty more curious things are waiting to be seen and understood at the end of the trail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
