Wild Animals I Have Known

When Old Lobo’s roar rolls down the Currumpaw canyon, the ranchers know the cattle will pay for it by morning. Yet the gray wolf seems to read every trap, poison and hunter laid against him.

In the vast cattle country of northern New Mexico, Ernest Thompson Seton’s stories bring the wild animals close—not as faceless threats, but as creatures with their own habits, loyalties and wits. At the heart of the opening tale is Lobo, king of a small wolf pack and a terror to the ranchers whose herds he raids. A thousand-dollar bounty draws hunters to the canyon, but Lobo has survived every scheme so far. What could possibly outsmart a wolf who knows the scent of a human hand?
