A collection of short stories about the North American wilderness and outdoor life.

Mystery, myth and magic, danger and survival, retreat and solitude, and even tales of environment and extinction fill these pages. Fuss includes an introductory text and commentary showing the evolution of the wilderness story, from the early 1800s to modern day. -- adapted from jacket
