“Book Descriptions: Ghosts of the Wilderness-An Everyday Guy’s Search for America’s Rare and Elusive Wildlife shares the adventures of the author hiking across the American Southwest, looking for wildlife that he hasn't seen in thousands of miles of hiking during nights, weekends, and days off. Along the way, readers learn something about the history of these classic American animals and their biology. This book also includes human stories and history (ancient, Native American, American pioneer, and more recent history) from the backdrops to these adventures. Finally, the author shares some reflections inspired by time spent outdoors. The book is broken into three sections: Deserts, Mountains, and Plains. Many animals are covered, including mountain lions, pronghorn, and scorpions. Packed with original photographs and analysis, including animals, natural features, artifacts, ruins, petroglyphs, and pictographs, this true adventure book isn’t to be missed.” DRIVE
