Here is a first-hand description of the Arctic - as it was and as it is - by a perceptive naturalist whose adventures there spanned 47 years. Alous Murie, trained as a biologist, took his first field trip to the Hudson Bay region in 1914, observing the land and the wildlife, and learning the ways of the peoples of the North. Later expeditions took him to Labrador and many parts of Alaska, a land he came to know well and love deeply. What he saws and felt on these travels was recorded in the sketchbook and journal that were always tucked away in his pocket. Along with his fascinating collection of photographs, they form the basis for a narrative that combines a scientist's eye for detail and a great man's human warmth. Edited by Margaret E. Murie, who shared her husband's love of the Arctic and many of his experiences there.

This is an outstanding treatise on one of America’s most widely hunted and most important big-game animals. Although thousands of sportsmen take to the field each year in quest of trophies, the perpetuation of elk hunting in America depends entirely upon proper management of the herds. Whether management succeeds or fails in future years will depend upon how well the public understands the problems of the game administrators and of the animals themselves. Everything the sportsman or naturalist would wish to know about the elk in included in this new volume. Habits, food preferences, seasonal movements, anatomy, antler development, and management problems are interestingly and thoroughly discussed. Written by one of America’s greatest field naturalists, this new book has behind it a lifetime spent in intimate study of the subject. Dr. Murie is recognized as the world’s foremost authority on the American elk and his comprehensive research on elk in the Jackson Hole National Monument forms the basis for this book. Everyone interested in America’s wildlife will want this volume in his library. The book is copiously illustrated with half-tone and original line drawings by the author.
