Summary

In "A Visit to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky," John Wilson immerses readers in a vivid exploration of one of the world'Äôs most renowned subterranean landscapes. Written in 1858, this travel narrative combines rich descriptive language with an insightful commentary on the natural wonders and geological formations within the cavern. Wilson'Äôs literary style weaves personal observation with scientific inquiry, reflecting the Victorian fascination with nature and exploration as well as the nascent field of geology. His work not only captures the majesty of Mammoth Cave but also contextualizes it within the broader scope of American natural history, situating the cave as a vital site of exploration during a period of burgeoning American nationalism. John Wilson, a contemporary of the transcendentalist movement, was profoundly influenced by the Romantic ideals that emphasized the sublime beauty of nature. His background in the sciences and the arts allowed him to approach Mammoth Cave both as a natural phenomenon and as a symbol of exploration and discovery. Wilson'Äôs writings reflect his deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, illustrating how such vast landscapes can evoke philosophical and existential contemplation. This book is highly recommended for both enthusiasts of American literature and those intrigued by the intersection of nature and exploration. Wilson's detailed observations and evocative prose invite readers to embark on their own intellectual journey into the heart of one of nature'Äôs most extraordinary sites, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American cultural heritage.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.
