1982 Man and Wildlife in Arizona: The American Exploration Period, 1824-1865 (Collectible - Like New)

There were many descriptions of Arizona wildlife and their habitats before the onslaught of the trail herds, the establishment of mining and lumber camps, and the diversion of limited waters for farming. The challenge has been to synthesize these reports into useful text. First presented as a master's thesis to the University of Arizona in 1973, and later substantially revised for publication, Goode P. Davis, Jr. presents his highly readable text abstracting the text of these reports. This work has received acclaim and is often quoted. The work includes several historic photographs and figures.
