 “The Story of Keesh” is a great example of a
classic that blends a great deal of individual effort
pitted against both natural and human elements, in a
way that burns the mind. The fascination with and
fear of the wilderness is the alluring quality — the
place in which a man may either make a name for
himself or go down fighting for renown. Keesh is one
of those who succeeded.
Why did the mystery surrounding
Keesh grow as days passed?
How was the mystery of Keesh's
marvelous hunting finally
unraveled?
 And this is the story of Keesh, who lived long
ago on the rim of polar sea. Because he
exercised headcraft and not witchcraft, he rose
from the meanest igloo to be head man of his
village, and through all the years that he lived,
it is related, his tribe was prosperous, and
neither widow nor weak one cried aloud in the
night because there was no meat.
