About The Book
Originally published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1930, The Wilderness of Denali is a memoir of three years of hunting the area of Alaska surrounding Mt. McKinley. It is a classic of American adventure—a book written by a man who was willing to risk his life in pursuit of grizzly bears and the elusive mountain sheep. The account was written each night by campfire as Sheldon discovered what is still regarded as the most scenic wilderness in America.

Raves and Reviews
The whole book radiates the most tremendous feeling for the mere presence of wilderness.
– The Sportsman
This inspiring book is unsurpassed in the bravery and endurence it silently reveals.
– The Boston Transcript
One of my most treasured books as a boy was Charles Sheldon's The Wilderness of Denali. His book records everything from the cannibalistic habits of shrews to the mating behavior of Dali sheep. Five species of mammals were named in Sheldon's honor, and his crusading work led to the establishment of Mount McKinley National Park in 1917.
