Synopsis
Few animals inspire such a mix of fear, curiosity, and wonder as the wolf. Admired yet often misunderstood, wolves have long provoked both fierce loyalty and fierce opposition. Their reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park in the 1990s―after decades of eradication―remains one of the most significant and debated wildlife restoration efforts in American history.
Northern Rocky Mountain wolves were native to Yellowstone when the park was established in 1872, but early views that cast them as dangerous vermin fueled aggressive predator-control campaigns. By the 1940s, wolves had been eliminated from the region. Their celebrated return half a century later launched a new era of research, public engagement, and controversy.
This comprehensive reference traces the prehistory, management, and ecology of the Yellowstone wolf. Historian-naturalist Paul Schullery brings together the voices of explorers, naturalists, park officials, tourists, lawmakers, and modern researchers to illuminate the story of what has become the world’s most famous wolf population. The book also features numerous scientific studies of interest to wolf enthusiasts as well as scholars of western wildlife, conservation, and national park history. An afterword by Schullery reviews the latest developments in the recovery project.
All royalties from sales of this book support Yellowstone’s wolf recovery project

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.
