This is the sixth volume in the mountain man series and Chronicles a very special adventure in the life of this unique frontiersman. The year is 1835, and trappers are beginning to recognize that their role will be diminishing. A natural event has taken place, a pack of large Canadian wolves has descended into the northern Rocky Mountains region where the mountain man does most of his trapping of beavers. This super pack of wolves is made up of more than a dozen large animals, twice the size of the wolves of the Rocky Mountains near the Columbia River. Jeremiah and his Wolf Hound are on a collision course with the super pack. Along the way they encounter the crazy Wolf Hunter, Lemuel Shattuck, a man mentally damaged by a previous wolf attack. "Jeremiah had come to admire the size of this big black Wolf, having never seen anything short of a grizzly bear to match it in size. The leader of this super pack was certainly the alpha male, the one in charge, the one that the MOUNTAIN MAN would have to contend with in the end."
