The Grizzly King

by James Oliver Curwood

"The Preface, dated 1916, is the author's apologia for his hitherto wanton killing of wild animals. He also states that his account of Thor the grizzly bear in his mountain fasts of British Columbia is based on fact.", cf. Egoff, Sheila. Canadian Children's Books 1799-1939.
