From the Back Cover

Praised everywhere as an unforgettable portrait of life in the wilderness, Arctic Wild is the story of naturalists Herb and Lois Crisler who, in the early 1950s, spent eighteen awe-inspiring months in Alaska's Brooks Range. Here, amidst the frigid Arctic winter and the vibrant life that burst forth with the thaw, their lives were forever touched by the arrival of two wolf pups whom they adopted and raised to maturity. Keenly observed and profoundly moving, Arctic Wild has justly earned its status in the canon of wilderness literature. (5 1/2 X 8 1/4, 320 pages, b&w photos)
