Book of the Week: Outlaw Wolves of Currumpaw

I enjoyed reading the Outlaw Wolves of Currumpaw by Ahi Keleher because it told a story of the U.S. west from the perspective of humans and animals. That's the book of the week.

I admire the way the author wrote the book, giving the reader both sides of the story from the hunters and ranchers to the wolves. 

Honestly, I was rooting for the wolves. When a hunter had a "success" I looked at it as a tragedy. I won't give the story away, but it made you think.  The wolves were just trying to live their lives.  It's based on a true story about a wolf hunter.  

It really made you think about what was right and wrong. 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Man vs. Wolf. The age-old blood feud comes to a head in New Mexico's Currumpaw Valley. It is the fall of 1893.

Lobo and his pack of cattle-killing wolves have been decimating the herds and threatening to bankrupt the ranchers. A bounty goes out: $1,000 to the man who can kill Lobo.

After many men try and fail to catch the cunning wolf, an experienced hunter by the name of Ernest Thompson Seton arrives to wage war against Lobo and his pack. Little did he suspect that the encounter would change his life.

Based on the true account set forth by Ernest Thompson Seton.
