About This Book...

A handsome little book from Paladin: black linen with blue details over hardback boards with a sewn binding. Dustjacket. 274 pp. Maps on front and rear pastedowns. "For nearly half a century, Game Warden Gene Mercer ("Old Sabertooth") patrolled the forest, galleys, streams and coastal waters of California. Facing the dangers of armed and unpredictable commercial poachers, out-of-season hunters, and crooked judges, he built a reputation as one of California's finest wardens. Now you can ride with Sabertooth as he works with bootleggers to stalk deer poachers during the Depression, surprises gill-netters with a boat full of illegal salmon in the Sacramento River delta, or intercepts market hunters with hundreds of freshly-killed ducks bound for San Francisco restaurants. Through hair-raising chases, the numbing cold and boredom of prolonged stakeouts, and bitter defeats at the hands of sophisticated outlaw hunters and corrupt officials, Sabertooth's commitment to protecting wildlife from abuse never wavered. Share in this extraordinary adventure."
