wolves and people, April 4, 2000
This review is from: War Against the Wolf: America's Campaign to Exterminate the Wolf (Hardcover)
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.

Mandatory reading if you care about wolves!, August 8, 2007
This review is from: War Against the Wolf: America's Campaign to Exterminate the Wolf (Hardcover)
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!
