American Serengeti The Last Big Animals of the Great Plains

The story of what happened to six major species of the Great Plains pronhorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the prospects for recovering North America's "Serengeti" in our time by re-creating a great Plains wilderness on a Yellowstone-sized scale. The book is thus the story of plains slaughterhouse history in the 19th century and large-scale conservation hopes for the 21st."
