The book is titled The Last of the Loners: A Noted Ecologist's Narrative of North American Wolves in Legend and History--the Great Predator Beasts Now Faced with Possible Extinction and it was written by STANLEY P. YOUNG; it was published by The Macmillan Company in 1970 and is a 1st Edition and 2nd Printing copy.For 300 years the North American gray wolf was hunted for his destruction of livestock, for his pelt, for killing the children of western pioneers, or purely for sport by farmers, stockmen, bountyhunters, and fur trappers. The long and bloody trail of death led across the Mississippi to the Great Plains, over the Rockies, and into the Far West.Stanly P. Young, himself a government hunter, was personally involved in the necessary control of certain renegade wolves. In this book, he focuses on nine of these exceptional gray loners--each outstanding in its cunning knowledge of man and his ways, and in its uncanny ability to avoid those devices employed for its capture and destruction. Although outlaws, these wolves were born leaders, superb examples of their species, and they deserved--and received--the respect of the men who finally conquered them.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
