In this lively, historically accurate account, David E. Brown chronicles the demise of the grizzly bear in the Southwest.

Scientists, Southwest historians, and those interested in Americas wildlife will appreciate this readable study of the bears life history and of the unique spirit of adventure associated with the grizzly bear-a spirit that passed from southwest game ranges with the expirpation of the species in the first half of this century. This edition includes a new foreword by Charles Jonkel and a new preface, in which the author discusses the latest developments in the debate over the grizzlys place in the Southwest.
