Monarch, the Big Bear of Tallac (Annotated)

A small bear remembers honey and a familiar voice. Years later, the great bear of Tallac can break ropes, defeat traps, and send mounted men scrambling for safety. His strength has grown with his knowledge of the mountains. The people pursuing him have been learning too, and they are determined to take him alive. Ernest Thompson Seton follows this contest from the mischief of cubhood to the terrible narrowness of a cage. The chapters move like a river, gathering force through obstacles toward the final “Landlocked.” In his original foreword, Seton explains the actual bears and gathered testimony behind his historical novel of bear life. This AMBER SERIES edition from AETERNUS presents the English text of 1904 with new publisher illustrations, an author portrait, a glossary, and an afterword. Appetite, memory, courage, and loss give the mighty animal a history that cannot be measured by his strength alone. It is the history the hunter must finally remember.
