Edited by David E. Brown and John A. Murray
The University of Arizona Press
A collection of true stories about grizzly and black bears in the Greater Southwest—Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, southern California, Chihuahua, and Sonora—from the 1820s to the present.
The chronological order in which the stories are presented vividly reveals the way that attitudes toward bears have changed over the years, particularly in terms of the growing concern for the preservation of wild animals and their habitat.'—Booklist
David E. Brown is a well-known authority on southwestern wildlife and author of The Grizzly in the Southwest: Documentary of an Extinction. John A. Murray is author of Wildlife in Peril and The Gila Wilderness Area.
