Summary "Northern Trails, Book I" by William J. Long is a nature-themed work written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed examination of animal life, particularly focusing on the ways of wolves, derived from the author's personal observations and experiences in the wild. Long emphasizes his commitment to truth in presenting animal behaviors, countering critics with first-hand accounts and testimonies from other naturalists and observers. The opening of the book begins with the author's preface, asserting the authenticity of his observations regarding animal behavior, particularly that of wolves. Long recounts the challenges he faces from critics who dispute his descriptions of wolves in their natural habitats. Following this, the narrative shifts toward the story of a great white wolf named Wayeeses and the experiences of curious children, Noel and Mooka, who observe the wolf family in their natural surroundings. The atmosphere is rich with imagery of the Newfoundland wilderness, where the dynamics between the wolves and their environment are beautifully described. Through the eyes of the wolf and the children, themes of wonder, curiosity, and the intrinsic connection to nature emerge, setting the stage for an exploration of life in the wild.
