BRENDA PETERSON


Wolf Nation The Life, Death, and Return of Wild American Wolves


Science, history, and gripping narrative bring to life the centuries-long battle to save America’s keystone species


I n the tradition of peter matthiessen’s


Wildlife in America or Aldo Leopold’s work, Brenda Peterson tells the 300-year history


of wild wolves in America. It is also our own history, seen through our relationship with wolves. Native Americans revered them. Settlers zealously exterminated them. Now, scientists, writers, and ordinary citizens are fighting to bring them back to the wild. Peterson, an eloquent voice in the battle for twenty years, makes the powerful case that without wolves, not only will our whole ecology unravel, but we’ll lose much of our national soul.


“Read this gorgeous, mind-blowing book and prepare to become an ardent advocate for co- existence with animals who turn out to be more like us than most people would have dared imagine.”—Sy Montgomery, Soul of an Octopus
