From the back cover: "The writings of Grey Owl (Wa-Sha-Quon-Asin)-bloodbrother of the Ojibway, naturalist, and master storyteller-have continued to delight readers all over the world ever since they first appeared. Men of the Last Frontier, published in 1931, was Grey Owl's first book. Written to arouse interest in conservation, its appeal is even more compelling today with the growing concern for the preservation of some part of our ecological heritage. By the 1920's Canada's outposts of adventure had been thrust farther and farther north to the very edge of the impenetrable wastes. Lumbermen, miners, and trappers invaded the old solitudes, seizing on Nature's wealth, with a soulless efficiency. Grey Owl himself fled before the invasion, as he saw "his" valleys desecrated with saw-mills, "his" hills blasted for their hidden wealth, and-most tragic of all-"his" beavers exterminated by trappers out for a quick fortune. His experiences of hunting and trapping, his tales of The Trail, his Indian and animal lore which he relates in The Men of the Last Frontier remain of absorbing interest."
