Frank Dufresne's forty years in bear country were mostly spent in Alaska. His reports helped Congress frame the first comprehensive Alaska Game Act and for several years he served as Director of the Alaska Game Commission. He has written several other books on wildlife, including ANIMALS AND FISHES OF ALASKA, THE GREAT OUTDOORS, and LURE OF THE OPEN. "It is most fortunate that this accurately descriptive volume should appear at this critical time when the future existence of the giant bears on Admirallty is in question. No one is better equipped than Frank Dufresne, either in experience or writing ability, to draw this splendid comparison with conditions of more than 30 years ago." [C.R. Gutermuth, Wildlife Management Institute]. Seller Inventory # 006662
