The Wilderness of Denali
The whole book radiates the most tremendous feeling for the mere presence of wilderness. (The Sportsman)This inspiring book is unsurpassed in the bravery and endurence it silently reveals. (The Boston Transcript)One of my most treasured books as a boy was Charles Sheldon'sThe Wilderness of Denali. His book records everything from the cannibalistic habits of shrews to the mating behavior of Dali sheep. Five species of mammals were named in Sheldon's honor, and his crusading work led to the establishment of Mount McKinley National Park in 1917. (Mark JenkinsOutside)
