Wild fantasy adventure! Another Tarzan but different!

A strange heroic land--Nato-wa, wild newfound region beyond the Artic north of Siberia, warmed by uncharted ocean currents and by great volcanic fissures and hot springs; a land thickly wooded with evergreens, and supporting many and varied wild animals. Stranger still its human population: a people so like the North American Indians that Kioga's father, who had discovered that land and people, had decided that here was the original birthplace of the Amerind race. Strangest of all-the story of that medical missionary's son, raised by the natives after the death of his parents, known as Kioga or the Snow Hawk, who rose to manhood to become the war-chieftain of his tribe. KIOGA OF THE WILDERNESS is the story of Kioga the man. It is a strange and unparalled adventure in the great tradition of heroic fiction.
