4.9/5 (10816 ratings)

Description:The first book to cover the history and current status of the mysterious big cat. Investigates the controversial question of whether wild cougars still inhabit the eastern United States. Collects written accounts from the settlers who first encountered the animals and includes contributions from leading figures in the field. When European settlers first reached the shores of North America, eastern cougars were plentiful, ranging up and down the coast of the present-day United States. By the beginning of the twentieth century, they had been almost entirely wiped out, victims of the same rapacity and ignorance that decimated wolf and bison numbers elsewhere in the country. Today, the continued existence of wild cougars remains hotly disputed, as do proposals to reintroduce cougars to the East. This groundbreaking anthology brings together accounts of early settlers and explorers, presents pro and con arguments on the wild cougar question, and examines the social and environmental implications of reintroduction. More than just a study of a single animal, this fascinating anthology probes America's troubled history with large predators and makes a vital contribution to the wildlife management debates of today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
