It is the first comprehensive history of American wildlife from the time of the white man's arrival in the New World to the present. To fashion this valuable and fascinating chronicle Peter Matthiessen has studied the accounts of explorers settlers and naturalists from the time of the first records. He tells of the great auk and of many other creatures of how they vanished and where and why and what is now being done that North America may not become a wasteland of man's creation in which no wild thing can live.<br> The book follows the tide of white settlement as it moved from the eastern seaboard in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries across the rivers plains and mountains to the Pacific. It tells of the fur trappers and whalers the market hunters and the spoilers. Never before in a single volume has the story of our continent's original inhabitants been told with such dramatic detail and illustration."</b></font><br><br> Purchase with confidence: all books gradings and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.

".For over two hundred years no Indian force in America was so powerful and feared as the Iroquois League. But these Iroquois occupied and controlled a vast wilderness empire which beckoned like a precious gem to foreign powers. France and England secured toeholds and suddenly each was claiming as its own this land of the Iroquois. Alliance with the Indians was the key; whichever power controlled them could destroy the other. 'Wilderness Empire' is the gripping narrative of the eighteenth-century struggle of these two powers to win for themselves the allegiance of the Indians in a war for territorial dominance yet without letting these Indians know that the prize of the war would be this very Iroquois land. It is the story of English strength hamstrung by incredible incompetance of French power sapped by devastating corruption. It is the story of the English Indian and French individuals whose lives intertwine in the greatest territorial struggle in American history -- the French and Indian War."
