Prologue: "Out of the majestic forests of California, comes a document of the wilderness--vivid proof that mankind has no exclusive claim upon the drama involved in the struggle for existence, whether that drama be comedy or tragedy. Our story begins with the dawn of a new day in the high Sierras, where whispering giants of ten thousand years keep benign vigil over all the creatures of the wild."
