An extremely comprehensive history of American sentiment about the wolf. This book does an excellent job of covering the various aspects of changing legislation on the wolf at both the federal and state levels. It also thoroughly cites chants, essays, poems and treatises that map the varying American views about the wolf. Do not look for detailed biological information in this book, however, this is a study on human attitudes as they have affected the wolf. A good read for anyone interested in conservation, or the plight of the wolf in specific.
My wife and I purchased this early anthology of wolves when it was written by Yellowstone Wolf Project field biologist, Rick McIntyre. It's one of the most comprehensive compilations of wolves--fact, folklore and mythology. We wanted to own another copy of this very valuable and dateless collection and actually purchased another used copy from to give to new Yellowstone wolves friends from Texas. No one is more dedicated to the study of the natural habits of wolves in its environment than Rick.
McIntyre chronicles the history of persecution of our nation's magnificent predator, the wolf. HOW could people have these views of such incredibly intelligent and social animals which STILL persist today?Education is so necessary and SO MISSING in our schools about how the federal government has aided and abetted the livestock industry in the extermination of our nation's precious assets, it's native predators.A Must Read!
