In a bittersweet blend of science and yarn, Carter Niemeyer takes us back to 1996 on a heart-pounding, eye-witness adventure to add 10 more wolves—the Sawtooth pups—to Yellowstone's newly reintroduced wolf packs. So much could go wrong. So much did go wrong. But in the end, the other 10 wolves helped change the character of Yellowstone's wolves forever.

Carter Niemeyer has followed wolves - and captured many - since he helped reintroduce them in the Northern Rockies in the mid-1990s. In his second memoir, Wolf Land, he takes us across the rugged West as he tracks wolves, shares in their lives, and seeks middle ground for these iconic animals, both on the land and in our hearts.

His plan was to stay in Iowa, maybe get a job counting duck, or do a little farming. But events conspired to fling Carter Niemeyer westward and straight into the jaws of wolves. From his early years wrangling ornery federal trappers, eagles, and grizzlies, to winning a skinning contest that paved the way for wolf reintroduction in the Northern Rockies, Niemeyer reveals the wild and bumpy ride that turned a trapper - a killer - into a champion of wolves.
