The author was sent by the Dominion Wildlife Service to the Barren lands of Keewatin to investigate the wolf population. This book is the entertaining account of his adventures there. His conviction that the wolves were much maligned as being a problem gained popular support for his contention that wolves be recognized as an integral part of the northern ecosystem.
