"The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time of the Cave Man" by Stanley Waterloo Ab is a Stone Age boy who grows to young manhood amid the many dangers of his times. With his friend, Oak, he digs a pit and catches a baby rhinoceros, participates in a mammoth hunt with the tribe to prove himself a man, and courts the young women from a neighboring tribe. One girl in particular, Lightfoot, holds the attention of both men, and Ab is forced to kill his friend in a savage fight. He wins Lightfoot for his mate, but is haunted by guilt for his murdered companion. As Ab grows older, he becomes the leader of the cave men, and the patriarch of a large personal family. During his life Ab invents and perfects the bow and arrow, and is the first of the primitives to domesticate wolves as pets.

Long before The Clan of the Cave Bear, speculative history writers were pondering what life in the Stone Age must have been like. In The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time of the Cave Man, author Stanley Waterloo presents a compelling tale of the titular protagonist and his clan as they face down myriad challenges to their survival. A fascinating read for fans of prehistory.

Excerpt from The Story of Ab: A Tale of the Time, of the Cave Man This is the story of Ab, a man of the Age of Stone, who lived so long ago that we can not closely fix the date, and who loved and fought well. In his work the author has been cordially assisted by some of the ablest searchers of two continents into the life history of prehis toric times. With characteristic helpfulness and interest, these already burdened students have aided and encouraged him, and to them he desires to express his sense of profound obligation and his earnest thanks. Once only does the writer depart from accepted theories of scientific research. After an at least long-continued study of existing evidence and information relating to the Stone Ages, the conviction grew upon him that the mysterious gap supposed by scientificcau'rzk.
