The Voice of the Coyote (Bison Book) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

'Deftly blends the natural history of the coyote with anecdote, tall tales and legend gathered from the author's wide reading and personal experience in his native region' - "New York Times Book Review". 'Mr. Dobie has done for the coyote what he did for the longhorn in his book about that breed. He's been some 30 years gathering this material, moreover; the coyote has fascinated him for all that time, and he has taken notes, talked to all sorts of people, read all the literature there is on the coyote including the folklore ...and then put the whole business together in this per-sonal, intimately written, and enormously fascinating volume' - Joseph Henry Jackson, "San Francisco Chronicle".'The book represents not only a lifelong interest in the coyote, but wide and comprehensive research both in the library and the great outdoors. Mr. Dobie was born and has spent most of his life in coyote country, and many a time has been sung to sleep in his bed roll by the strange music of the little wolf' - Stanley Vestal, "Saturday Review of Literature". 'Although he has apparently combed the literature for facts about coyotes, Dobie also has talked to pioneers, to old trappers, to those who have spent their lives in close association with the coyote. Not all they said, of course, is to be taken without the proverbial seasoning of salt. Tales grow tall along the border. But these firsthand accounts, together with the author's own memories, give the book a freshness that is one of its charms' - E. W. Teale, "New York Herald Tribune".
