Portrait

Grey Owl

Grey Owl (1888-1938), an Englishman, immigrated to Canada as Archibald Belaney in 1906 and quickly constructed an identity as a Native, assuming the Ojibwa name Wa-sha-quon-asin. He was world-renowned for his work as Canada's pioneer conservationist and spread his message of preservation through multiple bestsellers, including Tales of an Empty Cabin and The Adventures of Sajo and Her Beaver People.

James Polk has written on Grey Owl and other animal-story writers in articles, reviews, and a book, Wilderness Writers. The former editorial director of House of Anansi Press, he was publishing policy adviser in the Ontario government and is the author of a novel, short stories, and a play. He lives in Toronto.

Pressestimmen

"When you read The Men of the Last Frontier it will whet your appetite for more Canadian literature" - Lethbridge Herald (Canada), book review, July 30, 2011 The features of this book such as pictures, poetry quotations by Lord Byron, Longfellow, Robert Louis Stevenson, etc. and the order of presentation, produce a readable and informative book that is not designed as a textbook, but could easily be used as one. -- Lethbridge Herald, 20110730
