The award-winning story of the century-and-half-long attempt to
control nature in the American wilderness, told through the prism
of a tragic death at Yellowstone--now in paperback In the summer of
1972, 25-year-old Harry Eugene Walker hitchhiked away from his
family's northern Alabama dairy farm to see America. Nineteen days
later he was killed by an endangered grizzly bear in Yellowstone
National Park. The ensuing civil trial, brought against the US
Department of the Interior for alleged mismanagement of the park's
grizzly population, emerged as a referendum on how America's most
beloved wild places should be conserved. Two of the twentieth
century's greatest wildlife biologists testified--on opposite
sides. Moving across decades and among Yellowstone, Yosemite,
Glacier, and Sequoia National Parks, author and former park ranger
Jordan Fisher Smith has crafted an epic, emotionally wrenching
account of America's fraught, century-and-a-half-long attempt to
remake Eden--in the name of saving it.
