"The Manitoba Interlake country, when I was born in 1913, was then newly settled wilderness. But while I was growing up, the moose, elk, wolves, and bears were being destroyed, wiped out by the settler's ready rifle, leaving only nostalgic memories of the days when their numbers were such that no one thought they could ever disappear. So while I was young, I learned that much of the fascinating world of wildlife will always be doomed to disappear with the coming of settlement by man. I guessed that it must be so, and was determined to paint pictures that would convey what I felt about the wonderful world which I believed was slipping away."
