America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than 200 years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals".

Ecological history done right
Reviewed: 01-01-18
The Great Plains of the early United States was a place of ecological wonders. This book is a wonderful telling of its history, where it is now, and where it could be.
If you daydream about setting out West with Lewis and Clark, or about hunting bison with American Indians, this book is for you. Relive the majesty of the Plains and learn about the current efforts to bring back its former glory.

Ex-Green Beret George Hayduke has returned from war to find his beloved southwestern desert threatened by industrial development. Joining with Bronx exile and feminist saboteur Bonnie Abzug, wilderness guide and outcast Mormon Seldom Seen Smith, and libertarian billboard torcher Doc Sarvis, M.D., Hayduke is ready to fight the power - taking on the strip miners, clear-cutters, and the highway, dam, and bridge builders who are threatening the natural habitat.

If you like the snarky, biting social critiques of Edward Abbey, you'll enjoy this book.
