Just days before Hallow Eve last month, the University Press of Colorado released a new and improved version of the Wildlife Management Institute's award-winning book Prairie Ghost: Pronghorn and Human Interaction in Early America. ?First released in 2004 and recipient of The Wildlife Society's Outstanding Book Award for 2005, Prairie Ghost is new because it now is in soft cover;? it is improved because it costs much less than it did originally.

"Despite the thoroughness of their research, which is based on a bibliography of over seven hundred sources, and the sheer quantity of detailed information they present, Prairie Ghost remains a lively read to the end." Environmental History"

Thorough and well-written, this work intertwines the importance of pronghorn in the cultures of prehistoric and historic Native Americans and, more recently, Europeans?. The book is lavishly illustrated with sketches and photographs of pronghorns in ancient pictographs and real life." Choice Magazine"

I recommend this book especially for the richness of its documentary voice?. This is an intensely firsthand tale, and the authors are generous in letting the witnesses to several centuries of pronghorn history speak for themselves?. You will find Prairie Ghost an incomparable overview of the changing fates of this important and beautiful animal." Paul Schullery in Montana: The Magazine of Western History

Within its 191 pages, Prairie Ghost features nearly 200 photographs and illustrations, plus a 16-page color unit of artwork of pronghorn by American masters.

The book was coauthored by Richard McCabe, Bart O'Gara and Henry Reeves. It sold in hard copy for $29.95. The price for the soft cover version is $21.95, plus shipping. Copies of Prairie Ghost are available from University Press of Colorado?or the?WMI Store.
