| Summary | "Shepherds of the Wild" by Edison Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the majestic yet unforgiving wilderness of Smoky Land, Idaho, and revolves around the life of a bull elk named Spread Horn, as well as the human character Hugh Gaylord, who embarks on a journey to rediscover his manhood and purpose in the wilds. As wildlife navigates the harsh realities of life in the forest, the novel also explores themes of survival, nature's beauty, and the struggle between man and the wild. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the bull elk, Spread Horn, who confidently traverses his territory, oblivious to the dangers that lurk nearby. The narrative intertwines his perspective with that of Hugh Gaylord, who, spurred on by the Old Colonel, has ventured into this raw landscape in search of adventure and personal growth. As Hugh grapples with his past and his motivations, the plot hints at increasing tension involving a large cougar named Broken Fang, emphasizing the predator-prey dynamics in the wilderness. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a gripping exploration of the deep connections between all creatures, both human and animal, in this wild setting, ultimately foreshadowing Hugh’s confrontation with his own nature and that of the wilderness.
