Stanley Waterloo 1846-1913 was a Chicago-born newspaper man editor and author. The present work is about Ab a young Stone Age boy and his journey to manhood. During the course of the novel he catches a baby rhinoceros with his friend Oak and joins the men in his tribe on a hunt. After both he and his friend become enamored with Lightfoot a young woman they fight over her which ends in his friend's death. Though burdened with guilt Ab goes on to become the leader of his tribe.
