Hyde, Dayton O.

The Major, who seeks to raise one record-breaking size trout, engages in a duel of wits with a fourteen-year-old poacher at his trout stream.

During the year he is held prisoner by an escaped convict on an uninhabited island in Lake Superior, a young boy watches his captor change from desperate criminal to a gentler man absorbed in the abundant wildlife of the island.

Cowboy and photographer Dayton Hyde presents images of and describes his experiences with mustangs and other wild horses around the country, also covering wild breeds around the world, and discusses preservation.
