Who rules the land of Admiralty Island in the Alaska Panhandle? Grizzly bears, emperors of the northwestern coastal rainforest. This island is the home of one of the highest bear densities on earth. Discover the natural history of this bear country where these mighty kings were once loved and protected by a solitary older man, who in turn was accepted by the bears. But this is not just his story nor the bears'. It is the story of the multitudes of bald eagles, ravens, crows, gulls and mink which met the bears at every turn of stream and tidal pool. And, while bears may rule the land, the waters are the domain of the salmon, coming every year in the thousands to breed and to die.
