American Wolf

There is nothing particularly special about the characters of American Wolf. They are all fairly typical of the people you would find in any small town in America.

Blakeslee, an award-winning journalist, chronicles the life of OR-7, the first wild wolf to enter California in nearly 90 years, in this fascinating natural history.

2.

In the middle of the night on September 10, 2011, a two-year-old male wolf left his pack in northeastern Oregon and began what would become a historic journey. OR-7, as he was known to scientists, crossed into California, becoming the first wild wolf in the state in nearly 90 years.

3.

His journey took him more than 1,000 miles, through the rugged Cascade Mountains and the barren Great Basin, in search of a mate and a new territory. Along the way, he recaptured the public’s imagination and became a lightning rod in the heated debate over the rewilding of the American West.

In The American Wolf, award-winning journalist Nate Blakeslee tells the gripping story of OR-7’s extraordinary odyssey and the people who watched it unfold.

It is a great book for whomever is interested in the story about the wolf, OR-7.

The book is a story about OR-7, the first wolf to travel from Oregon to California in nearly 100 years. The story is told from the perspective of different people who have been involved in the wolf’s life, including biologists, ranchers, and hunters. The book is very well-written and informative, and it gives a good overview of the complex issues surrounding wolves in the West.

The American Wolf has helped to preserve and protect the endangered species of wolves in North America. The American Wolf has also worked to educate the public about the importance of wolves in the ecosystem and the need for their conservation.
