Book
Description
Filled with a wide range of incidents,
encounters, and observations about bears, this
book gives a unique perspective through gripping true
stories. Some are comical, others tragic, some inspiring,
and some simply terrifying. The author interviewed dozens
of wardens, biologists, ranchers, hunters, hikers, and
mauling victims. The result is a valuable book for understanding
and living with bears.
About
the Author
A
life-long Westerner, Tom Reed is the author of two books.
In 2003, he wrote Great Wyoming Bear Stories, a work
compiled through dozens of personal interviews with people
whose lives had been changed — positively and negatively — by
Wyoming bruins.
Most recently, he wrote Give Me Mountains
For My Horses, a collection of essays about horses that
Reed has owned in his lifetime. |
|
The personal essays follow
Reed’s evolution as a horseman, with a particular
emphasis on wild Wyoming country and good equine companionship.
Both books were published by Riverbend Publishing, Helena,
Montana. His fiction and nonfiction work has also appeared
in several anthologies. Reed at one time was the managing
editor for the Lander Journal, and served as Senior Editor
for Wyoming Wildlife magazine. In addition, he was the
Publications Manager for NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership
School) for nearly ten years.
He is a regular columnist
of Wyoming Wildlife News and has won multiple awards
from the Wyoming Wildlife Federation, the Association
for Conservation Information, the Colorado Press Association
and the Wyoming Press Association. He attended the prestigious
Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference at Middlebury College
in 2001. He currently splits his time between Montana
and Wyoming.
