Book Description
The white man had not only confiscated the Ute Indian's Colorado homeland but also destroyed the natural ecosystem and nearly eliminated all wildlife. Crusaders for Wildlife is a history of what the people did to bring wildlife back to the San Juan Mountains in Western Colorado. Now the San Juans are once again renown for the abundance of fish in the streams and the large herds of elk and deer, yet controversy still exists over the reintroduction of such species as the lynx, grizzly bear and wolf.

Book Description
Life is filled with memories and ill remembered events, and to reawaken, relive, and record them for others is a daunting task that few embark upon. Echoes from the Mountains is an engaging, honest, and humorous portrayal of the challenges, opportunities, and complex issues involved in managing and protecting Colorado wildlife in a career of more than three decades in the Southern Rockies and balancing the often competing interests of people who find joy in Colorado's wildlife. Profoundly influenced by his father who nourished his interest in the outdoors, hunting and fishing, Glen followed his dream of living a life as Wildlife Officer, bringing passion and enthusiasm for seeking common sense solutions to the problems of wildlife management which is almost every case involves the management of the state's citizens and visitors. He diffused dicey and tense encounters with firmness, good will, and humor. Every bend in the trail was an adventure. Deeply appreciative of what he learned from others, he was never too busy or too self centered to quit learning from those who were more experienced. Always willing to work with the young and less experienced, he himself became a master teacher and team builder. He rejoiced in doing new things, mastering new challenges, and doing old tasks differently. His experiences allowed his qualities as a teacher, learner, and leader to etch an indelible mark upon the region as witnessed by his leadership in his numerous capacities. In his first book "Crusaders for Wildlife" A History of Wildlife Stewardship in Southwestern Colorado's wildlife, Glen paid tribute to the forest rangers, game wardens, biologists, and citizens who restored our wildlife heritage. Echoes from the Mountains is the personal side of being a Wildlife Officer in some of the most isolated, rugged and beautiful mountains in Colorado. For understanding the daily life, joys, pleasures, and dangers of being a Wildlife Officer for the State of Colorado, no better account can be found.

Book Description
He was complex, quirky, pugnacious, and difficult. He seemed to create enemies wherever he went, even among his friends. A fireplug of a man who stood only five feet eight inches in his stocking feet, he had an outsized ambition to make his mark on the world. And he did. William Temple Hornaday (1854-1937) was probably the most famous conservationist of the nineteenth century, second only to his great friend and ally Theodore Roosevelt. Hornaday's great passion was protecting wild things and wild places, and he spent most of his adult life in a state of war on their behalf, as a taxidermist and museum collector; as the founder and first director of the National Zoo in Washington, DC; as director of the Bronx Zoo for thirty years; and as the author of nearly two dozen books on conservation and wildlife. But in Mr. Hornaday's War, the long-overdue biography of Hornaday by journalist Stefan Bechtel, the grinding contradictions of Hornaday's life also become clear. Though he is credited with saving the American bison from extinction, he began his career as a rifleman and trophy hunter who led "the last buffalo hunt" into the Montana Territory. And what happened in 1906 at the Bronx Zoo, when Hornaday displayed an African man in a cage, shows a side of him that is as baffling as it is repellent. This gripping new book takes an honest look at a fascinating and enigmatic man.

Book Description
The late nineteenth and early twentieth century were a brutal time for American wildlife, with many species pushed to the brink of extinction. (Some are endangered to this day.) And yet these decades also saw the dawn of the conservationist movement. Into this contradictory era came William Temple Hornaday, a larger-than-life dynamo who almost uncannily embodies these conflicting threads in our history. In The Most Defiant Devil, a compelling new biography of this complex figure, Gregory Dehler explores the life of Hornaday the hunter, museum builder, zoologist, author, conservationist, and anti-Bolshevist crusader. A deeply religious man, he was nonetheless anything but peaceful and was racist even by his era’s standards, going so far as to display an Mbuti pygmy as a "living specimen" in a zoo. A passionate hunter, Hornaday killed thousands of animals, including some of the last wild buffalo in America, but he was far ahead of his time in his influential views on the protection of wildlife. Hornaday designed and built the New York Zoological Park (which became the Bronx Zoo) and was chief taxidermist for what would later become the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.In this single, fascinating individual, we can discern some of the Progressive Era's most destructive forces and some of its most enlightened visions.
