Shepherds of the Wild

When Hugh Gaylord reluctantly accepts the challenge to leave his soft, comfortable life to hunt the cougar Broken Fang in the Idaho Rockies, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Initially skeptical, he soon finds purpose and meaning in the trials and travails of life in the harsh wilderness as his story intertwines with those of the animals around him-Broken Fang, Spread Horn the bull elk, Spot the bighorn goat, and Shep the dog-each of them contending with the challenges of their environment.

Like many of Edison Marshall's novels, this one draws on his own experience as a life-long outdoorsman and big game hunter.

Perfect for readers who love gripping wilderness adventures and compelling tales of personal transformation, this powerful story delivers both heart-pounding action and profound character development. Marshall masterfully weaves together human and animal perspectives to create an unforgettable journey through Idaho's rugged wilderness that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
