Reseña del editor
The events of Allen Hasselborg's life could have been imagined by a clever novelist hoping to create just what every reader would want in a story about the north during the first half of the twentieth century: A young man comes to Alaska to seek his fortune in the awe-inspiring wilderness, but finds his destiny instead. In the process, this sturdy Midwesterner learns the skills of a prospector, miner, boat builder, trapper, fisherman, wilderness guide, and homesteader. At all these things he eventually excels, but his greatest fame comes from his greatest skill: he is a peerless bear hunter.
Then, to round off the story and bring it up to date, the tale takes the most romantic turn of all. As his respect for the great brown bears of Admiralty Island increases, the hero loses his interest in killing them. His love for the singular place that is southeastern Alaska grows, and with it comes a singular acceptance of the mighty animals that rule its craggy shores and misty forests. The hunter hunts no longer and becomes an inspiration to conservationists who would preserve the bears' realm forever.

Softcover. Condición: Good. Bear Man of Admiralty Island is the life story of a rugged loner and self-taught naturalist who came to southeastern Alaska in 1901 to seek his fortune in the awe-inspiring wilderness but found his destiny instead. In the process, this sturdy Midwesterner learned the skills of a prospector, fisherman, trapper, guide, boatbuilder, and homesteader. At all these things he eventually excelled, but his greatest fame came from his greatest skill: he was a peerless bear hunter. He joined several natural history expeditions and worked for about ten years as a specimen collector and guide. He later guided sportsmen and photographers interested in Southeastern\'s wildlife and majestic natural beauty. As his respect for the great brown bears increased, he lost his interest in killing them, and his experiences inspired conservationists who lobbied to protect Admiralty Island from logging. Hasselborg\'s keen wit, fierce independence, and eccentric ways attracted much attention during his lifetime. He was an extraordinary man who was in some ways a perfectly ordinary Alaskan of his time, and author Howe reflects on both sides of that character in a balanced, detailed way.
