Theodore Roosevelt & Bison Restoration on the Great Plains

By: Keith Aune & Glenn Plumb, With Contributions by Leroy Littlebear, Jim Posewitz, Kent Redford, Amethyst First Rider, Jim Derr and Dave Hunter

Rapidly disappearing bison in the late 1800s prompted progressive thinkers to call for the preservation of wild lands and wildlife in North America. Following a legendary hunt for the last wild bison in central Montana, Dr. William Hornady sought to immortalize the West's most iconic species. Activists like Theodore Roosevelt rose to the call, initiating a restoration plan that seemed almost incomprehensible in that era. Follow the journey from the first animals bred at the Bronx Zoo to today's National Bison Range. Glenn Plumb, retired National Park Service chief wildlife biologist, and Keith Aune, retired Wildlife Conservation Society director of bison programs, detail Roosevelt's conservation legacy and the landmark efforts of many others.

Nature Wars

The Incredible Story of How Wildlife Comebacks Turned Backyards into Battlegrounds

By: Jim Sterba

For four hundred years, explorers, traders, and settlers plundered North American wildlife in an escalating rampage, but in the twentieth century an incredible turnaround took place. Conservationists created wildlife sanctuaries, restored habitats, and imposed regulations on hunters and trappers. Over decades, they nursed many wild populations back to health. Then, after World War II, something happened that conservationists hadn’t foreseen: sprawl. People moved into suburbs, and then kept moving outward. All the while, well-meaning efforts to protect animals allowed wild populations to burgeon out of control, causing damage costing billions, degrading ecosystems, and touching off disputes that polarized communities. The result is a mix of people and wildlife that should be an animal-lover’s dream, but often turns into a sprawl-dweller’s nightmare. Deeply researched, eloquently written, and perceptively humorous, Nature Wars expresses the need for organic reconnection with our natural ecosystem by offering a provocative look at how Americans created an inadvertent mess.

Rifle in Hand

How Wild America was Saved

By: James Posewitz,Jim Posewitz

The North American model of wildlife conservation is unique, and it has restored wildlife abundance to an entire continent. While courts defined a public-trust relationship with fish and wildlife, sport hunters developed a philosophy and initiated programs that resurrected waterfowl, upland birds, and big game from the ashes of commercial exploitation and habitat desecration. Today, against all odds, we enjoy a wildlife abundance that is the envy of the world.Rifle in Hand traces the evolution of our society's relationship with the animals that share this continent. It introduces the reader to a few of the heroes who made it all happen, people who, whilde passing through history, left a conservation legacy and hunting heritage for all to enjoy, including Theodore Roosevelt, D'ing Darling, Aldo Leopold and others.
