Synopses & Reviews
Hampton tells the remarkable three hundred year odyssey of the American wolf. What was once North America's most reviled beast, pursued to extinction throughout the United States, has become, in the last half century, a symbol of wilderness, tolerated and even desired over much of its former range.
