- Synopsis
- Survival--against the hostility of man and beast, and against the dreadful odds of Nature--is the theme of this magnificent book, a beautifully written fictionalised biography. It tells the story, from timorous infancy to glorious maturity, of an American bald eagle. Daniel Mannix captures all the poetry, romance, and glory of an eagle's life, while telling his reader how it must feel to be a fledgling struggling for food, a young bird just learning to hunt, and finally what it must be like to reign as acknowledged lord of the skies. The eagle of which the author writes may well be the last; the bald eagles have been badly depleted by hunters, vandals, and egg collectors. THE LAST EAGLE is both a poignant and fascinating story and a plea for conservation.
