Format:Hardcover
This edition is the Library of Mark Twain published by the University of California. They are by far the best editions available, but regrettably they are slow in releasing them. You won't be sorry.

All of Tom's books are very similar but they remain captivating. This as his others is more of the same, adventure tales for boys with a deeper philosophical and spiritual meaning. It is a very entertaining read, containing the ups and downs of Tom's personal quest. Granfather and Tom's love for the natural world once again shines through strongly and is refreshing to the spirit.

I must say that I wasn't disappointed in this, the follow up to "The Tracker". Though I was inspired by the first book, this, the second really gives me the story I want. It goes from high to low. It shows the man who was at first a bit hesitant and leery of his talents test them in ways that inspire. From Mr. Browns deep wood encounter with the spirit of a great, old tree, to the heartbreak of the tracking of a young victim of a senseless crime, the book captivates!

An astonishing book with incredible depth of spirit
I had recently read "The Tracker" by Tom Brown Jr. and thought it a remarkable book. It was the shear enthusiasm and telling of the truth that made it so inspirational. Read more

Hilarious, tragic and redeeming

Long full of bull account of Twain's adventures!
Twain here exhibits his propensity to write, and write, and write... As long and boring as some of this book was, I am glad I read it. Read more

A worthwhile follow-up to "The Tracker"
Though not as quite as inspired as the tracker was, the search continues the story of Tom's life in the outdoors and the further challenges he put himself through.
