Reproduction of the original: Our Vanishing Wild Life by William T. Hornaday
William Temple Hornaday was the Director of the New York Zoological Society and the nation's leading advocate of wildlife conservation in this era. This unsparing manifesto was written to accompany Hornaday's launching of the Permanent Wildlife Protection Fund; it is thus (in the words of the historian Stephen Fox) both "a campaign tract" and "one of the first books wholly devoted to endangered wild animals" (John Muir and His Legacy: The American Conservation Movement [Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1981], p. 149). It is also a landmark of conservation history which had a profound effect on the thought of Aldo Leopold, among others. The book surveys the history and causes of wildlife destruction in America and elsewhere, and sets forth a lengthy program to ensure the protection of remaining wildlife for the future, often in militant and moralistic terms. The work also throws light on some of the complexities inherent in the conservation movement at this time: for example, Hornaday accepts the classification of certain bird and mammalian predators as "noxious" or "vermin" and appropriate for destruction (pp. 77-81); there is no criticism here of the massive campaign for the extermination of wolves and coyotes being sponsored at the time by the Bureau of Biological Survey. On a more general level, Hornaday's fulminations against Italian immigrants as incorrigible bird-killers suggest a connection between nativism and conservationism, while his excoriations of market hunters set forth a deeply-rooted class bias shared by many leading conservationists.
The story of one woman's journey into the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho and Montana to investigate the disappearance of her friend and discover the truth about her family.
A car collector looking for a place to store his vintage Studebakers stumbles across a name carved in a wooden beam from a century-old building. Just a quarter mile away, the skeletal remains of a young woman are found outside a homeless camp. The investigation that Corrigan starts as a favor to his old friend quickly becomes a nightmare beyond anything he could have imagined. As the body count rises, the mystery spirals ever deeper until it takes on a life of its own. For decades, children have been vanishing without a trace until Corrigan uncovers the terrible truth. But nothing comes without a price. Relationships are torn apart, and at times, even nature works against Corrigan and his small team of investigators as they track down obscure clues from the cold case files. Chasing leads across five states over six months, Corrigan faces the greatest challenges of his investigative career.
Meticulously written, "The Bitterroot and Mr. Brandborg" tells the story of Guy M. Brandborg and his impact on the practices of the U.S. Forest Service. It articulates Brandborg's Progressive-era idealism and is based on extensive archival research in collections throughout the Rockies and the Northwest, including the Brandborg family papers.
Title 14, Section 1211 Code of Federal Regulations, passed into law on July 16, 1969. Anyone in contact with an extraterrestrial and or UFO is jailed. NASA can enforce quarantine that a court order cannot break. Coming from Darkness is an epic near future Science fiction novel. After a UFO crashed into a motel, public outcry demanded action. A governmental agency moved a Disclosure plan ahead of schedule. Title 14, Section 1211 is reinstated as law. In the name of public safety, alien abductees are herded into special camps. In the years following, RFID biochip implants go from voluntary to the law of the land, and anyone refusing placed into retraining camps. Government scanners for biochips double as scanners for alien implants. First three years after Disclosure, young alien abductee Bryce had unintentionally dodged capture. When biochips became law, he fled into the wilds to live among survivalists. Former operatives of a shadow government whom had defected scanned him for an alien implant. Bryce is not simply a former abductee - He is an Unknown abductee. Like a society gone mad around them, survivalists fear former alien abductees. They suspect that, aliens programmed him to complete a secret mission. The government learned he is an Unknown, and intensified their hunt for him. Abandoned by aliens, pursued by the government and hated by society, Bryce must come to terms with an abusive past. He must learn to forgive others and forgive himself. All the while, he must evade capture and learn what it means to be an Unknown and discover whatever his mission was.
Back in the 1860's, gold fever was not only in California but in the Northwest as well. There lived a different breed of men then, most trustworthy and honorable and some hostile and unsavory. These men faced banditry and frozen death and others found legendary wealth in gold. They were all lured to hidden, stolen, buried gold and gold that was to be had for the taking. In the vast Indian lands, which soon became territories, tent and log towns sprang up and then were abandoned with new discoveries of gold, while some grew and remain to this day. This book is a compilation of stories of men in their quest for gold in the Northwest.
