DescriptionThe award-winning story of the century-and-half-long attempt to control nature in the American wilderness, told through the prism of a tragic death at Yellowstone--now in paperback In the summer of 1972, 25-year-old Harry Eugene Walker hitchhiked away from his familys northern Alabama dairy farm to see America. Nineteen days later he was killed by an endangered grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park. The ensuing civil trial, brought against the US Department of the Interior for alleged mismanagement of the parks grizzly population, emerged as a referendum on how Americas most beloved wild places should be conserved. Two of the twentieth centurys greatest wildlife biologists testified--on opposite sides.
