->''"This true story should become an instant classic. And you should give it to everyone you think of."''
-->--'''St. Louis Post-Dispatch''' blurb on the front cover of an early edition
"In the Shadow of A Rainbow: The True Story of a Friendship Between Man and Wolf" by RobertFranklinLeslie is a book originally published in 1974, but the story itself takes place in the mid-1960s. It tells the story of a man, Gregory Tah-Kloma, who encountered a notorious wolf-pack leader named Náhani and developed a friendship with her, in the wild country of Kitiwanga, in north-central British Columbia near the Skeena river. Greg follows the wolves in a quest to discover the truth about Náhani, who has a huge bounty on her head, all while trying to outwit the malicious Trapper-Dan, who has placed the wolf in his sights for allegedly destroying his traplines.
The author was friends with the protagonist, and there is an author's note in the book documenting Gregory Tah-Kloma gave permission to tell this story in a book, lending his notes and diary as well to aid the author.
