Review By Nathan:
This book by James Oliver Curwood is set in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. It tells the story of Thor, a giant grizzly bear who makes these mountains his home. It also tells us about two men named Bruce (the pro. hunter) and Jim (the naturalist) who invade Thor's kingdom and after seeing him they decide to hunt the magnificent Thor. At this time Muskwa, a black bear cub who has just lost his mother is found by Thor and is taken under his "wing".
The hunters soon set dogs on Thor's trail and Muskwa is separated from the giant beast and captured by the hunters. Thor escapes and they continue to hunt him while taming Muskwa. At one point Jim is out for a walk and breaks his rifle. Not long after this Thor finds him but leaves him be even though he could have easily killed his "enemy". This changes Jim's outlook and the hunters move on leaving Muskwa.
