The Biography of a Grizzly: And 75 Drawings by Ernest Thompson Seton [Hardcover] Seton-Thompson, Ernest and 75 Drawings By the Author

Description

"The life of a wild animal always has a tragic end," as Ernest Thompson Seton said. This is the story of Metitsi Wahb, born a playful cub, orphaned young by the murder of his mother, his brothers and sister, raising himself surrounded by enemies, and growing to the fiercest creature anywhere in his vast range — though showing himself a gentleman in the Yellowstone National Park. And finally, he is laid low by a smaller, more cunning enemy, and defeated in the end by age and injury. This is a gentle and yet violent story, a natural violence, but not one you'd wish to face yourself, and not recommended for little children.
