Wahb by Ernest Thompson Seton
First published more than a century ago, The Biography of a Grizzly recounts the life of a fictitious bear named Wahb who lived and died in the Greater Yellowstone region. This new edition combines Ernest Thompson Seton's classic tale and original illustrations with historical and scientific context for Wahb's story.
The tale of Wahb has been a classic of 'Yellowstonia' since the book was first published in 1900In a 1903 magazine, journalist Ray Stannard Baker included a drawing of a lady tourist on a Yellowstone stagecoach reading a copy of the book. Jeremy Johnston and Charles Preston have done us a favor by making Seton's timeless story available again, this time accompanied by the relevant discussions of nature fakers and evolving science that are so important to appreciating the work."" - Lee Whittlesey, Historian, Yellowstone National Park
