Synopsis California's Day of the Grizzly by : William B. Secrest
Man versus bear, bull versus bear, dogs versus bear... in nineteenth century California it seemed all the elements of Gold Rush California were aligned against the native grizzly bears. For nearly 100 years they entertained, fed, and helped sustain the pioneers, but in the end the bears were too dangerous to ranchers and families and they were shot and poisoned into extinction. Book jacket.

Synopsis California Grizzly by : Tracy I. Storer
The California Bear Flag and the University of California football team the Golden Bears emblemize the great animal that has been extinct in California since the 1920s but once numbered perhaps as many as ten thousand in the state. Forty years after its original publication, University of California Press proudly reissues California Grizzly, still the most comprehensive book on the bear's history in California. The lessons of the book resonate today as the issues of protection of wildlife habitat versus unfettered development of land for human use are debated with increasing urgency.

Synopsis After the Grizzly by : Peter S. Alagona
Thoroughly researched and finely crafted, After the Grizzly traces the history of endangered species and habitat in California, from the time of the Gold Rush to the present. Peter S. Alagona shows how scientists and conservationists came to view the fates of endangered species as inextricable from ecological conditions and human activities in the places where those species lived. Focusing on the stories of four high-profile endangered species—the California condor, desert tortoise, Delta smelt, and San Joaquin kit fox—Alagona offers an absorbing account of how Americans developed a political system capable of producing and sustaining debates in which imperiled species serve as proxies for broader conflicts about the politics of place. The challenge for conservationists in the twenty-first century, this book claims, will be to redefine habitat conservation beyond protected wildlands to build more diverse and sustainable landscapes.

Synopsis Night of the Grizzlies by : Jack Olsen
For more than half a century, grizzly bears roamed free in the national parks without causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a single August night, two campers were fatally mauled by enraged bears -- thus signaling the beginning of the end for America's greatest remaining land carnivore. Night of the Grizzlies, Olsen's brilliant account of another sad chapter in America's vanishing frontier, traces the causes of that tragic night: the rangers' careless disregard of established safety precautions and persistent warnings by seasoned campers that some of the bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief that the great bears were not really dangerous -- would attack only when provoked. The popular sport that summer was to lure the bears with spotlights and leftover scraps -- in hopes of providing the tourists with a show, a close look at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some of the younger campers even making bold enough to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies' known route of arrival. This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one tragic result…

Synopsis Grizzly Adams and The Bridge To The Meadow by : Tod Swindell
Grizzly Adams and the Bridge to the Meadow is a magical mountain tale featuring Grizzly Adams and his animal friends, including his lovable grizzly bear, Ben; his playful dog, Rambler; and his brainy muse, Earl the Squirrel. A sunrise from 'deep inside the forest' sets the stage for Grizzly Adams and his furry friends to repair a bridge that leads to a beautiful meadow, and their successful effort brings all good things together at the end of the day. Penned in rhyme and wonderfully illustrated, Grizzly Adams and the Bridge to the Meadow (ages 3 to 7) teaches the effectiveness of teamwork, overcoming challenges, and the satisfaction achieved by accomplishing important goals. It is the first of a series of children's books offering new Grizzly Adams stories for both young and old to enjoy. The Grizzly Adams® brand is a sustaining partner of The Vital Ground Foundation, a land trust that conserves and connects habitat for grizzly bears and other wildlife. They also partner with communities to prevent conflicts between bears and people. A percentage of the proceeds from this book go directly to The Vital Ground Foundation.
