YELLOW EYES
Rutherford Montgomery
Hardcover
(The Caxton Printers Ltd, Aug. 16, 1937)
Far back in the wildest of the mountain country hides Yellow Eyes, the great mountain lion, the most cunning and powerful of his hunted kind. Beautiful and cruel, like all of the huge cats, he and his lovely mate, The Golden One, are tawny shadows lurking in the unexplored forest. Pitted against them is Cougar George, who is determined to wipe them out. As a cub Yellow Eyes makes his first thrilling escape from the dogs of Cougar George; and on that day he sees his brothers treed and slain. After that, Yellow Eyes shuns trees. He sharpens his wits against the skill of Cougar George. Lesson after bitter lesson, he comes to know the misery of the hounded beast; and he grows into his prime as a magnificent animal-powerful, forest-wise, and defiant.
