About this book

High in the Canadian Rockies, Thor detects an unfamiliar scent drifting into his mountain domain. The great grizzly knows this landscape through sound and smell, from its flowered slopes to its streams and snowfields. James Oliver Curwood's wilderness novel follows animal life at close range, giving Thor's habits, strength and cautious curiosity a central place in the story.

The cub Muskwa brings a different scale of adventure. Exploring slippery rocks, he tumbles into a lake and struggles through his first swim; Thor checks on him before both bears hear approaching dogs. Langdon and Bruce follow a pack of trained Airedales, bringing human pursuit into the bears' world. Curwood's preface sets these scenes within his changed attitude toward hunting.
