The grizzly's very existence was beginning to look grim in the early 1900s. Once numbering approximately 100,000 in the West, only a handful of bears remained in the remote backcountry after the species was pushed close to extinction by guns, traps, and poison. In the wake of this unprecedented carnage, a few dedicated conservationists began preaching a radical philosophy: that the grizzly, rather than a vilified beast, was a majestic animal worthy of our respect and awe.
Grizzlies and Grizzled Old Men is a tribute to eight men and one woman including biologists, writers, and photographers who fought the idea that the only good bear was a dead bear. Beginning with riveting accounts of how the grizzly was very nearly annihilated, this important contribution to the struggle to save the grizzly includes information about today's new breed of great bear conservationists and suggestions on how readers and wildlife enthusiasts can help ensure the bears survival.
