PILGRIMS OF THE WILD is Grey Owls autobiography about his transition from successful trapper to Canadian environmentalist...

"This is primarily an animal story; it is also the story of two people, and their struggle to emerge from the chaos into which the failure of the fur trade, and the breaking down of the old proprietary system of hunting grounds, plunged the Indian people, and not a few whites, during the last two decades. Their means of livelihood destroyed by fire and the invasion by hordes of transient trappers and cheap fur buyers, these two, a man and a woman, newly married and with no prospects, broke loose from their surroundings taking with them all that was left to them of the once vast heritage of their people, their equipment and two small animals as pets."
-Wa-Sha-Quon-Asin (GREY OWL), Beaver Lodge, Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan. November 7th, 1933
