Wild grizzly bears, conducting their affairs undisturbed, are the
essence of the wilderness spirit. Much has been written, both fact
and fiction, about these awesome animals, but until very recently
we have known little about the details of their daily existence.
For twenty-five years, Adolph Murie, one of North America's
greatest naturalists, spent his summers in Mount McKinley National
Park (since renamed Denali National Park) tracking, recording, and
interpreting the lives of these magnificent animals in one of their
few remaining strongholds. Murie observed the grizzlies as they
moved throughout their range. He noted how families were formed,
how they found food, and he described in detail how they related to
other animals with whom they came in contact, including man. Often
he followed a bear family for days as it traveled through the park.
Even though their behavior could be quite unpredictable, Murie was
able to distinguish, through careful observation, the individuals
who made up many distinct families.
Originally available only in government publications which are
long out of print, this classic work of natural history is now
published which are long out of print, this classic work of natural
history is now published for the first time in a popular edition.
This edition is being published simultaneously with Adolph Murie's
other classic study of the Far North, "The Wolves of Mount
McKinley", thus making widely available two of the most important
studies on North American wildlife.
