520 Over a continent and three centuries, American livestock
owners destroyed wolves to protect the beasts that
supplied them with food, clothing, mobility, and wealth.
The brutality of the campaign soon exceeded wolves'
misdeeds. Wolves menaced property, not people, but
storytellers often depicted the animals as ravenous
threats to human safety. Subjects of nightmares and
legends, wolves fell prey not only to Americans' thirst
for land and resources but also to their deeper anxieties
about the untamed frontier. Now Americans study and
protect wolves and jail hunters who shoot them without
authorization. Wolves have become the poster beasts of the
great American wilderness, and the federal government has
paid millions of dollars to reintroduce them to scenic
habitats like Yellowstone National Park. Why did Americans
hate wolves for centuries? And, given the ferocity of this
loathing, why are Americans now so protective of the
animals? In this ambitious history of wolves in America -
and of the humans who have hated and then loved them - Jon
Coleman investigates a fraught relationship between two
species and uncovers striking similarities, deadly
differences, and, all too frequently, tragic
misunderstanding.
