Tales Of An Empty Cabin - Softcover
From the back cover: "Many readers have come to regard Tales of an Empty cabin as Grey Owl's greatest book. It tells the epic story of the vast North Land, of the men-both Indian and white-who have given it its history, of the animals that live and have their being in it, and of the trees and rivers which are its sentinels and highways. The ghostly firelight in the empty cabin brings back to Grey Owl's mind "some half-forgotten story of an incident or thought, and by them there nearly always hung a tale." There are stories of the struggle and endurance of the Indians, and of the beavers and wolves, and of the hugebull moose who became a frequent visitor to Grey Owl's camp. Grey Owl's masterful tales of the Canadian wilderness have won the admirationof the readers in many lands all over the world, and the increasing awareness of the dangers to our natural environment has created a new generation of readers for these unique and powerful stories.
