"I have ordered 5 More Copies of this book !!!" according to FreeRanger. FINALLY ! A book that debunks the widespread propaganda promoting wolf introduction. As a citizen-naturalist, trekker, hunter, and friend of the rancher and all working folks of the West, I have following the Yellowstone and Idaho wolf introduction program from it's conception up to the present time, and have seen the concerted propaganda of the wolf promoters at work.

Lyon and Will N. The Real Wolf: The Science, Politics, and Economics of Co-Existing with Wolves in Modern Times, by Ted B. A review can only hint at the depth and importance of this masterpiece setting the record straight about wolves. Graves, deserves widespread readership for methodically and scientifically setting to rest the sentimental modern mythology about the wolf so prevalent here in the East, where the lack of accurate information has allowed radical environmentalists to recruit well-meaning people to their pro-wolf movement. There's nothing fictitious about the information, details, facts, or data found on those 368-pages. It awaits world-wide readers who long to know the truth about The Real Wolf. --Carol W. Recalling that his professors told him that mathematics is a universal language, he used en
