Book Description
Excerpt from The Wilderness of the North Pacific Coast Islands: A Hunter's Experiences While Searching for Wapiti, Bears, and Caribou on the Larger Coast Islands With one exception, the trips described in this book were incidental to others in the Yukon Territory and Alaska. From journals, carefully written at the end of each day, I have tried to reproduce an exact picture of the experiences of a hunter in the wilderness of the large islands visited. The narrative, however, is not a copy of my journals, and may be read independently of the marginal dates, which are inserted merely for the convenience of those interested in fixing accurately the dates of recorded events. This is a tale of hunting, during rain and storm, for special animals; much of the country traversed was unknown in detail to white men, some of it had not even been trodden by natives; it was not possible to obtain guides familiar with the habits and haunts of the animals; and the time which could be spared for each trip was limited. Little attention, therefore, could be given to natural history which, in the regions visited, has fortunately to some extent been investigated. But no literature, giving the detailed experiences of hunting in all of these islands, exists. My thanks are due to some of my friends for helpful criticism of the Montague Island narrative, and I am very much indebted to Dr. C. Hart Merriam for numerous suggestions in regard to this part of the narrative, all of which have been adopted.

Book Description
A self-made millionaire, Charles Sheldon went from railroad tycoon to revered naturalist. Much of Sheldon's exploration took place in the untamed wilderness of Alaska and surrounding regions. Throughout his journeys, he came across native tribes that had experienced very little contact with the outside world. His efforts in increasing public awareness of the natural wonders and need to protect wilderness areas led to the creation of Mount McKinley National Park in 1917. Excerpt: "Through the summer and early fall of 1904 I had been hunting mountain-sheep among the Rockies of the Yukon Territory, and on my return stopped at Victoria for the purpose of arranging a trip for wapiti, Cervus occidentalis, during the month of November. Although many sportsmen had killed this fine animal on the island, little had been recorded about it, and nowhere had I seen a detailed description of the experiences of a hunter in the Vancouver Island forests. Some question had arisen as to the exact status of the wapiti isolated there, and the main object of my trip was to secure a bull for the Biological Survey in Washington, so that its relation to the wapiti, Cervus roosevelti, of the Olympics could be positively determined. Warburton Pike, who had passed the summer hunting in the Stikine River region and had joined me on the steamer at Wrangel, took great interest in my proposed trip, and through his kind assistance in Victoria I was enabled to make my plans."
