A Little Brother to the Bear

This book tells the story of Mooweesuk, the raccoon who was called the bear's little brother by both Indians and naturalists because of the many ways in which he resembles the "big prowler in the black coat." Learn about the coon's secret habits, and read stories about the woodcock, wildcat, toad, and many other animals. Two chapters remarkable for their insight into the hidden life of animals close this volume, one on Animal Surgery, describing some of the ways in which wild animals treat their wounds; the other on Hunting without a Gun, showing the joy of following even the large and dangerous animals with the desire only to be near and understand them.
