Other editions of book Baree, Son of Kazan

Baree, Son of Kazan is a story about a wild wolfdog pup sired by Kazan (1/4 wolf, 3/4 dog) and born of blind Greywolf (pure wolf). This story is about Baree's survival after being separated from his parents as a young pup. He eventually finds himself in the care of Nepeese and her father Pierrot, a trapper. He bonds with Nepeese, and the story goes from there. James Oliver Curwood took the well used "a boy and his dog" formula, and created a great adventure story about a girl and her dog. A successful formula featuring a strong heroine, rather than a male hero, that he used in many of his stories.

Baree, Son of Kazan is a tale of friendship and bravery far from human civilization. Baree is a wolf-dog, the son of Kazan and the blind Gray Wolf. Just months old when he is accidentally separated from his parents, he has to make his way alone in the inhospitable wilderness. As Baree faces his fears and learns to survive, he finds neighbors and friends among the other creatures, including owls, beavers, and bears. His life is changed forever when he encounters Nepeese, a trapper's daughter, and a bond is formed which will see them through many trials and adventures. Written by conservationist James Oliver Curwood and based on his own experiences in Canada's Northwest, Baree, Son of Kazan is permeated by a palpable love of nature which you may find contagious.

Since the publication of my two animal books Kazan and The Grizzly King I have received so many hundreds of letters from friends of wild animal life, all of which were more or less of an enquiring nature, that I have been encouraged to incorporate in this preface of the third of my series Baree, Son of Kazan something more rf my desire and hope in writing of wild life, and something of the foundation of fact whereupon this and its companion books have been written. I have always disliked the preaching of sermons in the pages of romance. It is like placing a halter about an unsuspecting readers neck and dragging him into paths for which he may have no liking. But if fact and truth produce in the readers mind a message for himself, then a work has been done. That is what I hope for in my nature books. The American people are not and never have been levers of wild life. As a nation we have gone after Nature with a gun.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
