The Last Stand of the Pack merits another look as a historic artifact and as a reminder of attitudes and behaviors that were once commonplace. It is a fun and uncomfortable read, akin to Huckleberry Finn in its ability to conjure a past that can make you think and cringe. --Jon T. Coleman, University of Notre Dame The republication of Carhart's work offers an opportunity to examine the false assumptions, dearth of science, and anti-wolf prejudices on which the eradication of wolves was based and coincides with renewed efforts to return the wolf to Colorado and restore the ecological balance we upset with their removal. This book is a hard read, but it is valuable as both a cautionary tale of the errors of our ways and a lesson for the future. --Bethany Cotton, WildEarth Guardians

In The Last Stand of the Pack, we are offered an opportunity for redemption: to go from vicious killers of the wolf to overseers and protectors of this great beast of the wild. Colorado is at a crossroads, and the world is watching. --Carter Niemeyer, wolf recovery coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (retired), author of Wolfer and Wolf Land The republication of Carhart's work offers an opportunity to examine the false assumptions, dearth of science, and anti-wolf prejudices on which the eradication of wolves was based and coincides with renewed efforts to return the wolf to Colorado and restore the ecological balance we upset with their removal.
