First published in 1935, Pilgrims of the Wild is Grey Owl’s autobiographical account of his transition from successful trapper to preservationist. With his Iroquois wife, Anahereo, Grey Owl set out to protect the environment and the endangered beaver. Powerful in its simplicity, Pilgrims of the Wild tells the story of Grey Owl’s life of happy cohabitation with the wild creatures of nature and the healing powers of what he referred to as "the great Northland" of "Over the Hills and Far Away." A bestseller at the time, Pilgrims of the Wild helped establish Grey Owl’s international reputation as a conservationist. His legacy of warnings against the degradations of nature and the dangers of industry live on, despite the posthumous revelation that he wasn’t, in fact, the First Nations man he claimed to be.

From the back cover: "The writings of Grey Owl (Wa-Sha-Quon-Asin)-bloodbrother of the Ojibway, naturalist, and master storyteller-have continued to delight readers all over the world ever since they first appeared. Men of the Last Frontier, published in 1931, was Grey Owl's first book. Written to arouse interest in conservation, its appeal is even more compelling today with the growing concern for the preservation of some part of our ecological heritage. By the 1920's Canada's outposts of adventure had been thrust farther and farther north to the very edge of the impenetrable wastes. Lumbermen, miners, and trappers invaded the old solitudes, seizing on Nature's wealth, with a soulless efficiency. Grey Owl himself fled before the invasion, as he saw "his" valleys desecrated with saw-mills, "his" hills blasted for their hidden wealth, and-most tragic of all-"his" beavers exterminated by trappers out for a quick fortune. His experiences of hunting and trapping, his tales of The Trail, his Indian and animal lore which he relates in The Men of the Last Frontier remain of absorbing interest."
