Wolf Country: A Wilderness Pilgrimage

Fascinated by the prospect of seeing wolves in the wild, Ewan Clarkson went to Isle Royale in Lake Superior and the wilderness country of northern Minnesota - the only places in the United States where the timber wolf is known to exist today. His aim was to observe clearly and try to discover the truth about the wolf's relationship to man and other living things."No war waged by man against another species has been fought so long, or so mercilessly, as has his campaign against the wolf," Clarkson notes. In the dwindling wilderness country of northern Michigan and Minnesota, the wolf's future continues to be embroiled in controversy, and the slaughter of wolves goes in.But Wolf Country does more than examine the fate of the timber wolf, past and present. Clarkson's ability to evoke the actual feel of the wilderness, it's scents, sights and sounds, is never failing. Bringing the reader with him on his wilderness pilgrimage, he is an informed and thought provoking guide as he discusses the ways of the wolf and it's companions in the wild - moose, deer, and beaver.
