No wild animal captures the spirit of North America quite so
powerfully as the wild horse-nor has any faced such diverse and
potent enemies. In this provocative account, Hope Ryden-who helped
to ensure the passage of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro
Act, which grants mustangs special protection-combs the history of
these proud and noble horses. Descended from the Spanish horses
ridden by the conquistadors, they evolved into the tough and
intelligent ponies that Native Americans-and later, explorers and
cowboys-learned to rely on. From the period when wholesale
extermination of the buffalo was underway until recent times,
commercial and political interests have sought to eliminate the
wild horses as varmints.
For two years naturalist/photographer Hope Ryden camped in remote areas of the West observing and photographing coyotes. With eloquence and clarity, she describes the private life of this much-maligned animal in a book that has been heralded as the classic treatise on the subject. While observing her controversial subjects, Hope endured hardships and peril, events she weaves into her beautiful story. "Full of charm and tenacious inquisitiveness as the appealing animal she pleads is allowed to live." "--The Washington Post" "A faultless and reasoned attitude." "--The New York Times"
