Originally published in 1914 by the Tribune Press, Wolf Days in
Pennsylvania preserves the fascinating history of Pennsylvania's
lost wolves and their hunters, which was already becoming the stuff
of folklore and myth during Shoemaker's lifetime at the turn of the
twentieth century. With his characteristic penchant for juicy
narrative and a naturalist's enthusiasm and respect for the animal,
Shoemaker details the decline of the wolf in Pennsylvania during
the westward progress of the state's settlement by whites, as its
population dwindled over the course of the nineteenth century. He
narrates stories of memorable chases and narrow escapes, and the
hunters' bravery in their attempts to protect themselves and their
communities. The book contains testimony gathered by the author,
accompanied by interviews with some of the state's great wolf
hunters and rare period photographs of the hunters and their prey.
