Summary

In the tradition of Peter Matthiessen's Wildlife in America or Aldo Leopold, Brenda Peterson tells the 300-year history of wild wolves in America. It is also our own history, seen through our relationship with wolves. The earliest Americans revered them. Settlers zealously exterminated them.

Now, scientists, writers, and ordinary citizens are fighting to bring them back to the wild. Peterson, an eloquent voice in the battle for 20 years, makes the powerful case that without wolves, not only will our whole ecology unravel, but we'll lose much of our national soul.

A heartbreaking & hopeful story of the USA wolf

Both sad and thrilling stories are told of the efforts to conserve wolves within the USA. The issues faced here echo worldwide and as a Brit hopeful of wolf reintroduction into the UK, the methods showcased within this book to coexist with them gives me hope for the future of these animals everywhere.
