Quotes Narrator: [opening narration] The year was 1820. Deep in the great Northwest, America was still a wild and untamed continent. When winter came, the icy northern winds whipped through the Rocky Mountains driving the birds and game animals southward, away from the frozen north land. For those that remained, it was the unyielding law of the wild - survival of the fittest. Primitive Indian tribes and predatory beasts stalked the land competing for the ever-dwindling food supply.
Narrator: [narration continues over footage of wolves] The Grey Wolf, greatest predator of them all, was best equipped for survival in a harsh land where death lurked for the weak and innocent. For thousands of years the wolf, like the sharks that roamed the sea, had fought against the evolutionary forces which had threatened to engulf them. And had won.
Narrator: [narration continues] Soon after Lewis and Clark first entered the High Sierras in search of a Northwest passage, a few hardy trappers followed their footsteps into the dangerous frontier, many of them never to return. One such man moved easily through the uncharted, perilous rivers and somehow managed to survive, even to thrive. He was known by the Indians as "Whitewater Sam". And with his companion dog, Sybar, he fearlessly roamed the mountains at ease with nature. He saw more unspoiled beauty than any white man before him had even dreamed existed. And more than any man may ever see again. This, then, is the legend of Whitewater Sam.
