America’s beloved wolf historian and longtime Yellowstone park ranger shares his long-awaited biography—a story filled with true grit, laughter, and love for America’s National Parks.
“There is literally no one else who could tell these stories.” NBC
“The chief historian of the most famous wolf population in the world.” Washington Post
“Like Darwin, McIntyre is an inclusionist and is thus able to enter the hearts and minds of wolves.” Mountain Journal
“Rick McIntyre is the ultimate guru of wolf behavior.” Jane Goodall
In this entertaining memoir, Rick McIntyre recounts his life spent amongst wild nature while working in the National Parks Service as a park ranger and shares the wisdom he has gained from spending nearly every day of his adult life in the presence of wolves.
McIntyre has calculated whether to outpace a grizzly or stand and face it. He has narrowly missed a charge by a moose. He has watched alpha wolves come up against each other in battles for territory—only to be surprised by their benevolent actions.
Throughout his career, McIntyre has used his experience in the great outdoors and through watching apex predators in the sights of his telescope to de-escalate fights between humans—even once helping to apprehend an armed man inside Yellowstone National Park by simply inviting him to his wolf talk later that evening.
This book chronicles Rick’s journey, explains his values, and brings readers up to date on the latest dramas of the Junction Butte pack in Yellowstone. Along the way, this tale is threaded through with Rick’s calm assertiveness in the face of conflict, his wise dealings with humans and animals alike, and his gentle sense of humor—like the time a woman excitedly thought she saw a grizzly bear through his telescope and Rick had to break it to her that what she saw was really an … Arctic ground squirrel.
