Synopsis

1892, New Mexico. A wolfpack roams the Currumpaw River Valley, preying on the vast cattle and the sheep herds of the area. Their leader, Lobo, possesses such cunning that local ranchers are unable to trap the pack. Due to his knowledge of wolf behaviour, Ernest Thompson Seton, a naturalist, is employed by ranchers to rid them of Lobo's pack...

The Wolves of Currumpaw is a modern re-telling of Ernest Thompson Seton’s epic wilderness drama ‘Lobo, The King of Currumpaw’, 1898. Set in the dying days of the old west, Seton’s drama unfolds in the vast planes of New Mexico, at a time when man’s relationship with nature was very much exploited and misunderstood.

The hunt of the wolf Lobo not only affected Seton profoundly, but helped change America’s relationship to wildlife and wilderness. This real-life tale had such an impact on Seton that he dedicated the rest of his life to conservation and worked tirelessly to spread this message to the youth of America. His efforts are evident through lobbying for wildlife protection, hunting laws and founding The Woodcraft League and The Boy Scouts of America.
