Excerpt from Northern Trails: Some Studies of Animal Life in the Far North If the reader find himself often wondering at the courage or gentleness or intelligence of these free folk of the wilderness, that need not trouble or puzzle him for an instant. He is not giving human traits to the beasts, but is simply finding, as all do find who watch animals closely, many things which awaken a sympathetic response in his own heart, and which he understands, more or less clearly, in precisely the same way that he understands him self and his own children.
