The Hunter's Game by Louis S Warren

The Hunter's Game by Louis S Warren

This work takes a look at the angry struggles between American conservationists and local hunters since the rise of wildlife conservation at the end of the 1800s. From Italian immigrants in Pennsylvania, to rural settlers and Indians in New Mexico, to Blackfeet in Montana, local hunters traditions of using wildlife have clashed with conservationist ideas of "proper" hunting for over a century. Louis Warren contends that these conflicts arose from deep social divisions and that the bitter history of conservation offers a new narrative for the history of the American West. At the heart of western - and American - history, Warren argues, is the transformation of many local resources, like wildlife, into "public goods", or "national commons". Warren concludes that the history of wildlife conservation sheds much light on the tensions between local and national priorities that pervade 20th-century culture.
