Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Haunters of the Silences: A Book of Animal Life
Such stories, which offer in the form of fiction What my observations have compelled me to regard as fact, I have presented my case already, in the prefaces to The Watchers of the Trails and Red Fox. To those prefaces I would add nothing here; and from the conclusions therein stated I have nothing to retract. I would merely take this occasion to reaffirm with confidence the belief, which I find shared by practically all ob servers whose lives are passed in the closest re lationship with animals, by such vitally inter ested observers, for instance, as keepers, trainers, hunters, and trappers, that the actions of animals are governed not only by instinct, but also, in varying degree, by processes essentially.
