Great Animal Stories

This collection published by Santa Barbara Press contains five stories, “The Wolf Tracker” being the most important as it is hard to locate in its original 1930 printing which was a small sized book of only 98 pages. And the Walter J. Black printing is a rare book as well but not to be confused with this one, as The Wolf Tracker and Other Stories has different stories than is presented here. “Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon” is a firsthand account of Zane Grey’s first trip to the Grand Canyon with Buffalo Jones which inspired him to write “The Heritage of the Desert” and “Riders of the Purple Sage”. Without this trip Zane Grey might not have written the stories he did. It also inspired a fictionalized version featuring Ken Ward—one of his boy’s books. “Land of the Musk Ox” can also be found in Zane Grey’s “Last of the Plainsmen”, his biographical story about Buffalo Jones. “Strange Partners of Two-fold Bay” and “Of Whales and Men” are companion pieces. The first was written by Zane Grey, the second by his younger son, Loren. Both stories tell a tale so fantastic, but absolutely true, that many who first read it could not believe it. That is why Loren wrote the second one, returning to the place where the story actually occurred. These are five great fiction and non-fiction stories.
