"...A nation in the thrall of the Industrial Age. ...Railroads scarring virgin lands and … buffalo herds decimated, [America] faced a crossroads: Could it pursue Manifest Destiny without destroying its natural bounty and beauty? The alarm that [George Bird] Grinnell sounded would spark America’s conservation movement. Yet today his name has been forgotten——an omission that John Taliaferro’s commanding biography now sets right with historical care and narrative flair." - Good Reads

"In searing detail...Montana rancher and conservationist Bryce Andrews tells us about...Millie...a typical [grizzly] mother: strong, cunning, fiercely protective of her cubs. But...the mountains were changing, as the climate warmed and people crowded the valleys. ...This singular drama is a piece of a much larger one in the West: an entangled, bloody collision between people...fighting to preserve [traditions] and one of America’s wildest landscapes." – Good Reads
