Houghton Mifflin Company Trade & Reference Division. 1995. 0395857007 Trade Paperback. Grizzly bears had not been seen in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado for almost 15 years when a small group of men set out in 1990 to seek definitive evidence that the animals still existed there. They sought a tuft of fur, footprints, or, best of all, photographs to convince wildlife officials that these mountains still provided a habitat for grizzlies, a habitat that should be preserved. The Lost Grizzlies chronicles the ongoing search for proof that a small number of grizzly bears still lives in the isolated mountain wilds of southern Colorado. Rick Bass turns his considerable talents to an evocation of wilderness beauty and the history of human encroachment that may, or may not, have wiped out the last of these massive, solitary bears from their southern range. Clean paperback, measures 5" x 8" with 239 pages. Pages are very slightly browned. Near Fine/No Jacket. Offered for US$ 10.35 by: Connie Popek, Bookseller - Book number: m402 | |||
