Return of Wolves: An Iconic Predator's Struggle to Survive in the American West

This book recounts the dramatic return of wolves to Washington state and the struggle for peaceful coexistence between cattle ranchers and conservationists.

Journalist Eli Francovich investigates how to mend this divide while keeping wolf populations thriving. He finds an answer in the time-honored tradition of range riding, led by passionate range rider Daniel Curry, who patrols the rural landscape on horseback. Curry protects livestock while also protecting and proliferating wolf populations.

This book introduces an eclectic cast of players—local ranchers, politicians, environmentalists, and everyday folks—and offers hope for the future of wolves and perhaps for our divided nation.
