Monarch: theBig Bearof Tallac in the Lake Tahoe High Sierra
MONACH: THE BIG BEAR OF TALLAC
in the Lake Tahoe High Sierra
by Ernest Thompson Seton.
Monarch...was printed just after 1900, when a few California grizzly
bears, like Monarch, still did roam the Sierra; now they roam only on California's state flag.
It is a story of the sad life of one of the last wild grizzlies who lived near Tallac, the
high mountain rising above Lake Tahoe's west shore, still wild country today, located
in the Desolation Basin Wilderness Area. The book Monarch was written for
children, but like all truly classic children's literature is excellent reading for
adults, too. Author Seton left many wildlife works for us, such as Wild Animals I
Have Known and The Biography of a Grizzly and was also a practical
leader, founding the Woodcraft League, forerunner of today's Boy Scouts. His museum is at
the scouts' Philmont Ranch in New Mexico.
100 drawings from the original, by the author, are included. 168 pages. Covers ligjtly scuffed. Limited supply.
