This is the follow on to Wright's 1959 classic definitive work on the Eastern Cougar and the question of extirpation in the East. Wright maintained that a remnant population survied well into the 20th century. Do they still survive today, or are they just so many reports of released/escaped captive animals from South America or from the West of North America? Who knows the answer to this question? It is possible that they survived in remote regions of Eastern Canada/Northest Appalachia/Great Smokey National Forest and Upper Michigan but we really don't know. Wright documents most all of his work. He also presents a compeling argument. This book is a must for all who love wild things. I also suggest the "The ghost of North America: The story of the eastern panther" 1959 also by Wright and "On the Track of the New Brunswick Panther;the story of Bruce Wright and the eastern panther" 2002 by Gilbert Allardyce (If you can find it!; I got my copy direct from Canada...). I also suggest joining the Eastern Cougar Federation and supporting their good work. It is only a question of time when the Western Cougar will come east and reclaim it's former range. That day may be already here!
