"All royalties from sales of this book go to Yellowstone's wolf
recovery project"
Few animals inspire such a mixture of fear, curiosity, and
wonder as the wolf. Highly regarded but often misunderstood, the
wolf has as many friends as enemies, and its reintroduction into
Yellowstone National Park has sparked both fascination and
controversy.
Early in Yellowstone's history, wolves were thought
supernaturally evil, and scores were destroyed. Northern Rocky
Mountain wolves were native to Yellowstone when the park was
established in 1872, but "predator control" led to determined
eradication, and by the 1940s they were gone. Amid much fanfare,
however, wolves were reintroduced to one of the nation's oldest
national parks in the 1990s.
This comprehensive reference documents the prehistory,
management, and nature of the Yellowstone wolf.
Historian-naturalist Paul Schullery has assembled the voices of
explorers, naturalists, park officials, tourists, lawmakers, and
modern researchers to tell the story of what may be the most famous
wolf population in the world. This unique book includes numerous
scientific studies of interest to wolf enthusiasts and scholars of
western wildlife issues, conservation, and national parks. In a new
afterword, Schullery discusses recent developments in the recovery
project.
