| Honored by Native Americans and
other tribal peoples as a protector and persecuted by generations of
Europeans
and Americans, the wolf is one of the world's most misunderstood-and
feared-animals.
In Wolfsong, Catherine
Feher-Elston
examines why the wolf has provoked such intense emotions in human
beings,
emotions that resulted in a campaign of extermination so long-lived
that,
until recently, the wolf has teetered on the edge of extinction. From
famous
"outlaw" wolves of the early twentieth century like Ghost Wolf and
Snowdrift
(who had bounties on their heads) to the archetypal Father Wolf of
Native
American religion, Wolfsong considers the
complexities of humanity's
relationship to the wolf.
