From the Author:
The fascinating history of the North American wolf.
For over three hundred years, the wolf was North America's most hated and reviled animal, relentlessly persecuted to the point of extinction by the mid-twentieth century throughout most of Mexico, the continental United States, and southern Canada. Then, in a matter of several decades, both public and scientific opinion reversed itself. The wolf became not only tolerated, but greatly desired as an integral member of ecosystems by conservationists and biologists who sought to return the predator to portions of its former range. What followed was one of the longest and most bitterly-fought conservation battles in history, one that continues today. Weaving a rich tapestry of historical, scientific, and contemporary accounts into a compelling narrative, I have attempted to re-create this remarkable story in a dramatic, yet thoughtful and objective manner.
