Grizzly Years: In Search of the American Wilderness

“An exciting natural history and, more important, a striking metaphor in its impassioned outcry against senseless waste of life on earth―human life included. ”
―Peter Matthiessen

For nearly twenty years, alone and unarmed, author Doug Peacock traversed the rugged mountains of Montana and Wyoming tracking the magnificent grizzly. His thrilling narrative takes us into the bear's habitat, where we observe directly this majestic animal's behavior, from hunting strategies, mating patterns, and denning habits to social hierarchy and methods of communication. As Peacock tracks the bears, his story turns into a thrilling narrative about the breaking down of suspicion between man and beast in the wild.
